Posted on December 18, 2011

ammutGod of destruction of the souls of the wicked.Have the appearance of a demon with the head of crocodile, the torso of a leopard and the hindquarters of a hippopotamus.

Ammit sits beneath the Scales of Justice before the throne of Osiris where she waits for the daily flow of souls to come before Osiris for judgement. During the Judging of the Heart, if the deeds of the soul being judged are found to be more wicked than good, Anubis feeds the soul to Ammit. This results in the total annihilation of the person, and there is no hope of further existence.
