Osiris God of the Afterlife, Underworld, and Dead - rebirth - and the weighing of the heart The ancient Egyptians believed if you did something bad, your heart would be heavy, and the god Ammut the Devourer could suddenly appear and eat you! The god Ammut had a big part in the weighing of the heart ceremony. To enter your afterlife, you had to have a light heart. Light hearts were earned from a lifetime of doing good deeds. To find out if your heart qualified for the trip to the afterlife, your spirit had to enter the Hall of Maat. The god Anubis weighed your heart. The god Thoth recorded the findings.

37 Rosetta Stone The Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian stele inscribed with a decree issued at Memphis in 196 BC on behalf of the Pharaoh. The decree appears in three scripts: the upper text is Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics, the middle portion Demotic (the stage of the Egyptian language after the New Kingdom) script, and the lowest Ancient Greek. Because it presents essentially the same text in all three scripts (with some minor differences between them), it provided the key to the modern understanding of Egyptian Hieroglyphics. It was discovered in 1799 by a soldier, Pierre- Francois Bouchard, of the French expedition to Egypt. As the first Ancient Egyptian bilingual text recovered in modern times, the Rosetta Stone aroused widespread public interest with its potential to decipher this untranslated ancient language. One possible reconstruction of the original stele
