Our Heritage and Foundation
The Temple of Artemis
The ancient Temple of Artemis in Greece stood as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and served as a sanctuary where those seeking refuge could find protection under divine law. This principle of sanctuary and protection under higher law resonates through our common law traditions today.
Thoth and Maat: Ancient Principles of Justice
From ancient Egypt, Thoth (the god of wisdom and writing) and Maat (the goddess of truth, justice, and cosmic order) established foundational principles that echo in common law. Maat's concept of balance, truth, and natural justice forms the bedrock of our legal understanding that law should reflect natural order and fairness rather than arbitrary power.
Connection to Common Law
These ancient principles of sanctuary, truth, and natural justice flow directly into common law traditions. Common law recognizes inherent rights, the importance of precedent and wisdom, and the primacy of justice over mere statute. Our embassy honors these timeless principles in all our advocacy work.
