In ancient Egypt, the dead were judged in the Hall of Ma'at, where the god Osiris presided over the process. The deceased's heart was weighed against the feather of Ma'at, which symbolized truth and justice. If the heart was lighter than the feather, the individual was deemed worthy and granted passage to the afterlife; if heavier, they were devoured by the monster Ammit, resulting in eternal doom. This judgment was central to the beliefs surrounding the afterlife and moral conduct during one's lifetime.
