According to Biblical scholars, the Ten Commandments were written by God upon two tablets of stone and then given to Moses on mount Sinai. This event is supposed to have happened around the 13th or 14th century BC.
What is interesting is that the Ten Commandments are very similar to the 42 Principles of Ma’at that appeared at least 2,000 earlier. There is reason to seriously consider at least 8 of the Christian Ten Commandments were based on Ma’at (or Maat), an ancient ethical and moral principle that every Egyptian citizen was expected to follow throughout their daily lives.
Ma’at was an ancient Egyptian goddess of truth, balance and order. Her name, literally, meant ‘truth’ in Egyptian and she was a symbol of harmony. Egyptians believed that without her existence, the universe would become chaos, once again.’
