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.
