Weighing of the Heart
People in most ancient civilizations were afraid of their gods. This was not true in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians loved their gods. They had little fear and great wonder. There was one exception - the god Ammit. Almost everyone in ancient Egypt was afraid of Ammit! Ammit was the Devourer. The ancient Egyptians believed if you did something bad, your heart would be heavy, and the god Ammit could suddenly appear and gobble you up!
