Hey, guys! What’s up? :D

I went crazy in this 5 days after seeing the announcement of the new theme of #trialbycomics contest! So many mythological creatures that I found interesting, but you can only submit up to 3 entries. It's not enough, haha!

After so much searching (I even asked my sister Hive account@lovesoldier69 to help me choose the creatures) I decided on two. Actually, there were 3 of them, but I don't know if I had a chance to draw the last one. Well, now I present to you the first one.

Ammyt (other spellings: Ammet, Ammut, Ahemait). She was a goddess of the ancient Egyptian religion. As a funeral deity, she was known as the devourer of death, soul-eater or great of death. She was represented as a crocodile-headed being, the front legs were of a lion and the hind legs of a hippopotamus.

Ammyt remained with Anubis in the "Judgment Hall of Osiris" while Djehuty (God of Wisdom) compared the weight of the heart of the deceased with the Maat's feather (symbol of Truth, Justice and Universal Harmony).

For the soul can be considered "fair of heart", the feather and the heart should weigh the same. If the heart was heavier than the feather, that soul was considered impure and Ammyt devoured it. Therefore the soul couldn't enter the Aaru, a heavenly place where Osiris and other Gods were.

The Weighing of the Heart

In this papyrus, you can see Ani's judgment. And next to Djehuty is Ammyt.

Here are some images of the process

The symbols are Egyptian hieroglyphics and means "Ammyt". I'm not sure if I used the correct symbols, but according to the Egyptian alphabet that I saw, it must be like this or at least it's pretty close :P

Well, that’s all. If you liked it, you can upvote or resteem this post, so that, Ammyt devours the hearts of others if they're not pure :P

Have a nice day, guys! <3
