The Egyptian heart ceremony was very important. If the heart ceremony was successful the person would be going to the afterlife, if not well, then they would be eaten by a creature sometimes refered to as the devourer, but also called Amut. Amut was part Jaguar, part hippo and part crocodile. Anubis always preformed the heart ceremony, and how this was done was that they had a scale, and put a feather from a god on one side, and the dead persons heart on the other. When they weighed the heart, they would see if it was lighter or heavier than the feather. If it was lighter they got to go to the afterlife, if not, then Amut would eat them and the heart.
