In Egyptian mythology, the afterlife judgment process involving weighing the heart is known as the Weighing of the Heart ceremony. In this process, the deceased's heart is weighed against the feather of Maat, the goddess of truth and justice. A heart lighter than the feather signifies a life of virtue, allowing the soul to enter the Field of Reeds, a paradise representing eternal joy. Conversely, a heavier heart denotes a life of wrongdoing, leading to obliteration by the devourer Ammit. This ritual emphasizes the importance of morality and truth in ancient Egyptian beliefs.
