In Egyptian mythology, the process of afterlife judgment involving weighing the heart is called the Weighing of the Heart. This ceremony determines the fate of the deceased in the afterlife. Anubis, the god of mummification, presides over the procedure, where the heart of the deceased is placed on a scale opposite the feather of Maat, symbolizing truth and justice. If the heart balances with the feather, the soul is deemed worthy and permitted to enter the Field of Reeds; if not, it is consumed by the Devourer. This myth reinforces the importance of moral integrity and the consequences of one’s actions.
