The Egyptians believed that when they died the God Anubis would weight their heart against the feather of truth to determine if they were worthy to go into the afterlife. If the heart was balanced they would go into the afterlife, if not the heart would be feed to Ammut, the devourer of the dead. The deseased would go no further.
