the weighing of the heart ceremony was a ceremony from ancient Egypt. A soul was taken to Osiris. His heart was weighed on a scale against a feather. The feather was the feather of Maat, the goddess of truth and justice. The Egyptians believed that the heart contained all the deeds a person has done, and that the heart grows heavier with each bad deed. The heart was weighed by Anubis, a god with a jackal head who was the god of embalming.

If the heart was light enough, the soul could go spend eternity in paradise with Osiris. If not, the heart would be devoured by Ammit(or Ammut). The Devourer.
