Ammit: Justice

Ammit, the Devourer of Souls, is the personification of divine justice and retribution. She has the head of a crocodile, the body of a lion, and the hind-parts of a hippopotamus—three of the deadliest “man-eating” creatures of Ancient Kemet.

Ammit eats the hearts of those judged unworthy against the feather of Ma’at at the scales in the Hall of Two Truths, condemning sinners to eternal damnation.

Themes
