In Egyptian mythology, Ammit is often depicted as a devourer of hearts. During the judgment of the dead, the heart of the deceased was weighed against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth and justice. If the heart was found to be heavier due to the weight of sin, Ammit would consume it, condemning the individual to an afterlife of nonexistence.

### Status

The concept of Ammit dates back to the ancient religious beliefs of the Egyptians. As a part of the judgment process in the afterlife, the existence of Ammit served as a deterrent against wrongdoing during one's earthly life. The fear of encountering Ammit in the afterlife emphasized the importance of leading a virtuous and morally upright existence.
