Who is the weigher of that nasty heart?

This is Anubis! :)
I know this should have been posted before but I don't know if i covered it good enough for ya. Anubis was a god that weighed the heart. It was weighed against a feather, I know a feather doesn't way anything. It symbolizing the truth and justice. Thoth, the scibe of the gods, would record the result in his scroll. But "weight", lol get it? Only the true in the heart would pass the test. The saying was that if you had a heavy heart then you wouldn't move on in the afterlife. Heavy heart means that he did something bad in his life, like another word for all that junk is called karma.

Osiris Dress Wear

This is the crook on the left and fail is
on the right.
I am not joking he didn't dress like a guy. He wore the white helmet of upper Egypt with a group of feathers on either side. He was normally caught having the atef crown, the elaborate plumed headdress. He gripped these tools called the crook and fail. They don't sound very strong! Cause if you think about it it sounds like someone is in trouble, I mean crook? Really??  The fail sounds just plain weird. He also had a really weird body color. You would never guess what it is. Come on try to guess! It is GREEN! I know, how weird. Don't even get me started with that mans lower body.. It was wrapped. As if  they were already partly mummified. Now come on bet you are thinking I am making this stuff up but I am not I promise. But I have reliable resources.

The God of the Stress full Underworld :|

Osiris is above.
This is the God of the underworld.
The god of the stress full afterlife is Osiris. He became the ruler of the afterlife when his brother murdered him. When he past away he became the leader of the afterlife. Oh, and another thing about his own brother killing him, I know it's his own brother why would he murder his bub? Even though he did kill his brother the reason was that he wanted to was to be the ruler of Egypt. I know it is just stupid! Umm..Oh yeah,all the significant kings become a ruler in the underworld with Osiris.

Weighing the Heart Ceremony!

This is the heart ceremony with Anubis!
Can you believe that they would really weigh your heart after you died?!! I mean it is just crazy. The jackal-headed god, Anubis would weigh the nasty organ, the heart. Anubis would put it on a scale with a feather on the other side. They didn't really weigh that nasty thing. The way it worked was that if you did bad things in your life that it would be a heavy heart.Wait, wait! I have one question! If you did good things, what happened with your heart? Well that is one heck of a question! If you did good things, you move on to your wonderful after life. If you did bad things,  a horrible thing would happen to the heart. A thing called an Ammit devoured the heart.  The Ammit is the eater of the dead. It is not just one animal, it is three. I know it is crazy, the three animals mixed in to the "eater of the dead" is a head of a crocodile, middle section is a lion, and the behind is a hippopotamus. So if you didn't do bad things in your life to anyone then you would move on in the afterlife and live a wonderful life after death!

The First Step to the End of Your Life

This is Osiris laying in his coffin!
It is crazy that the fist step in Afterlife is the Second Death. It seems weird  that it has second in it and its the first step! Well the Second Death is the death of Osiris, the king of afterlife. Osiris has three pain in the butt siblings, Isis Neophytes, and Seth. Seth murdered Osiris. Well when I researched how Osiris died I found two different sources. One of the source was that Seth had a coffin and wanted to see who fit in it. Osiris fit the coffin perfectly! When Osiris laid in there Seth closed then SLAMMED the coffin closed then he bought it into the Nile River. When Osiris wife, Isis searched for him she found the coffin on the shore of Byblos. Isis opened the coffin to find her husband dead! I know how I said, it is like a love story. So romantic!! :) In the other lame resource I used said that Seth cut Osiris into pieces and sprinkled him throughout the Nile River.
