They believed that if you lived a good life you would live in the afterlife. In order to determine this, one's heart was weighed against the feather of truth. If it was balanced you would proceed into the afterlife, if not your heart was fed to Amit, the devourer of the Dead.

Are Copts indigenous Egyptians?

It's only one of many theories about what happened to the ancient Egyptians and has not been proven. It is more likely that the majority of modern day Egyptians are in some way, even if just in part, descended from the Ancients regardless of their faith. This is taking into consideration that the Egyptians of old, especially those from lower (northern) Egypt would have mixed with Roman, Greek, Macedonian, Byzantine & Arab conquerors (all of whom were lighter skinned people), they would have also mixed with people brought in as slaves or settlers from the glory days of Ancient Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians would have had a greater resemblence to the African peoples of Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia and in fact such people are still found in Upper (southern) Egypt and therefore would be theoretically speaking the closest descendants to the ancient Egyptians.

Should your boyfriend give you gifts our should you give him gifts?

It should be both. And you don't have to give gifts but it is a nice way to show them that you love them. But of corse I really do think that boys give a lot more gifts to girls. I think that because they want to show you that they admire you in such a way that they would never think about leaving your side. And also if you think you are a gift-giving phanatic, well all I have to say is do not go over board with them. But once in a while it would be great. Even if you think that they just need something to cheer them up!
