Egyptian Papyrus Weighing of the Heart. The heart of the deceased is weighed against the feather to determine its acceptance into the new life.
From left to right:
Ra, the creative god
Anubis, god of embalming
Thoth, god of justice
The ancient Egyptians believed that the heart recorded all the good and bad deeds of a person's life and was needed for judgment in the afterlife. After a person died, the heart was weighed against the feather of Maat (goddess of truth and justice). The scales were watched over by Anubis (the jackal-headed god of embalming) and the results recorded by Thoth (the ibis-headed god of writing). If a person had lived a decent life, the heart would balance with the feather and the person would be deemed worthy to live forever in paradise with Osiris.
