Question

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Osiris is considered both the god of fertility and the embodiment of death. In the Nether World while he granted all life, he also judged those who had passed into the afterlife (formely though in the Old Kingdom Anubis was known to judge the dead but Osiris rose the the role during the Middle Kindom (2000–1700 BC) era.). The process of judging the dead in Ancient Egyptian mythology was known to be based on the weighing of the heart on a scale with a feather on the other side (see figure 1). If ones heart weighed more then the feather, they were considered more wicked than good, and thus were sent to be eaten by Ammit/Ammut (see figure 2) and erased from existence. Contrarily, if a someones heart was lighter than the feather, they were able to move on to the afterlife.
