Well when you died in Egypt you went to the Hall of Judgment on one scale and the Feather of Truth in another to see if you were good when you where alive, and how much honesty you showed when you were alive. The person who weighed your heart, it was the Anubis, the god of the dead. It's a little different from the Greek Myths, but Anubis was not ruler of the Egyptian Underworld.

A dead person's heart is typically weighed against a feather in ancient Egyptian mythology, specifically in the context of the "Weighing of the Heart" ceremony. This ritual was part of the afterlife judgment process, where the heart of the deceased was placed on one side of a scale, while a feather symbolizing Ma'at, the goddess of truth and justice, was placed on the other side. If the heart was lighter than the feather, the person was deemed worthy and could enter the afterlife; if heavier, they faced dire consequences.
According to the myths, your heart was weighted so you could get into the Afterlife. Your heart was put on a scale, and if it weighed more then a feather, you would not get into the Afterlife. If it weighed less then a feather, you would get into the Afterlife..
