Ammyt

Image of Ammit in the Book of the Dead by Ani. Trial of Osiris with the representation of Ammit. Ammyt, the devourer of the dead or devourer of hearts, was the Egyptian goddess who devoured the heart of a newly deceased human being if the soul of the deceased was guilty and / or sinful, and if he was not, he was rewarded with eternal life. Iconography

It was represented as a being with a crocodile's head, the lion's front and the hippo's back. Mythology

Ammyt was placed under the scales at the Trial of Osiris, held in the Duat, the underworld. Dyehuty (Tot) compared the weight of the heart of the late "Ib", symbol of past earthly acts, conscience and morality, against the pen that represented Maat, Truth, Justice and Universal Harmony.

In order for the deceased to be considered "Just Voice," the heart and feather should be just as light. If the heart weighed more than the pen was considered impure, Ammyt devoured it and the person judged was not allowed to enter the Aaru, losing its condition of immortal, perishing definitively.
