Here, Roy and his wife have passed through one of the gates of the afterlife. In the next scene, the god Horus leads them towards an event that would decide their fate once and for all—a final judgment. Before judgment, the deceased made what was known as the Negative Confession, listing the many mortal sins he had not committed, such as causing hunger, inflicting pain, or committing murder. It's possible that some of the Negative Confession was used as a moral guidebook. So as opposed to the commandments, what you shall do, shall not do, it's I have not done murder, I have not stolen from the temple, I have not committed a sexual misdeed. So through chapter 125 of the Book of the Dead and the Negative Confession, we get a sense of the Egyptians' own code of morality. After this extraordinary declaration came the judgment itself. But the deceased might not have to face this test alone. Images on some tomb walls show a husband and wife approaching it side by side. This moment of truth would decide if they would have a happy existence or be consigned to oblivion. It was known as the weighing of the heart. The weighing of the heart in the afterlife is the point where the gods determine whether this person was a supporter of Maat, supported the proper order of the cosmos or not. The weighing of the heart is the centerpiece of the Book of the Dead. In this deadly ritual, the heart of the deceased is weighed against a feather, symbolizing truth, order, and justice. Here we have, well, an insight into the idea of the heart is also represents the will and the people they were born with free will or created with free will. So the heart is where it plays very important role and the innocence and the source of evil or source of goodness is also related to the heart. Ancient Egyptians saw the heart as the vessel of a person's life force, the essence of their being, and a record of their time on earth. If it was heavy with sin, the scales would drop and the heart would be devoured by Ammit, the soul eater, a terrifying creature with the head of a crocodile, the body of a lion, and the back legs of a hippopotamus. If your heart does not maintain equilibrium with the feather of Maat, it, and of course you by implication, are tossed into the weighting gullet of a composite monster called Ammit, whose name means she who devours. For a heart devoured by Ammit, there was no return. The dead would fade from memory and the sum total of their existence would cancel out. Those who avoided this awful fate proceeded to a land known as the Field of Reeds. Here they would experience an ideal version of the life they had led before death, eating, drinking, and even working. The ancient Egyptians viewed the afterlife as a continuation of existence. Once the dead had passed all the tests and creatures of the underworld, they would be able to live on in an ideal version of their lives on earth. The blessed dead hoped to spend eternity in paradise with Osiris, the god of the underworld. This paradise was a group of islands covered in fields of rushes. It lay in the east where the sun rises and it was called Ahru, the Field of Reeds. Ahru was believed to be the soul of the Nile Delta, Egypt at its best. It seems to be Egypt in perpetual festival. You're constantly celebrating a festival. You're constantly at the banquet. You're always fishing and fowling and ritual hunting. The river level is always just right, never too high, never too low. So it's the great things about Egypt all together forever.
