Ammit sits beneath the Scales of Justice before the throne of Osiris if the Judging of the Heart, if the deeds of the soul being judged are found to be more wicked than good, Anubis feeds the soul to Ammit. This results in the total annihilation of the person, and there is no hope of further existence.

Anubis was the Egyptian god of death. When a person died, they would go to a version of Limbo. There, they would be judged by Anubis. The person's heart and a feather would be put on opposite sides of a scale. If the heart weighed more, the person was judged as a bad person. If the feather weighed more, the person was good. Anubis knew everything that a person did in their life. It was useless to lie to Anubis to make yourself look like a good person.
