The weighing of the heart ceremony

The weighing of the heart ceremony is the ceremony that judges the heart against a feather. If the feather and the heart weigh the same the soul of the body can pass on through the underworld. If the heart weighed more the heart would be eaten by the devourer who was a mix of a lion, a hippo, and a alligator. Isn't that a pretty sight to see about every day.
