Cravate Egyptian books of the dead.

This detail scene, from the Papyrus of Hunefer (ca. 1275 B.C.), expositions the scribe Hunefer's heart being weighed on the scale of Maat against the feather of truth, by the jackal-headed Anubis. The Ibis-headed Thoth, scribe of the gods, enregistrements the result. If his heart is lighter than the feather, Hunefer i allowed to pass into the afterlife. If not, il y ai i ils eaten by the waiting chimeric devouring creature Ammit composed of the deadly crocodile, lion, and hippopotamus. Vignettes such as ait these were a common illustration in Egyptian books of the dead.
