Hieroglyphics of the judgement of the dead in the presence of Osiris
The judgement of the dead in the presence of Osiris from book of the dead
The ancient Egyptians believed that the heart was the seat of the emotions, the intellect and the character, and thus represented the good or bad aspects of a persons life. If the heart did not balance with the feather, then the dead person was condemned to non-existence, and consumption by the ferocious devourer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate hieroglyphics depicting the ancient Egyptian belief in the judgement of the dead in the presence of Osiris. The scene unfolds as souls stand before a grand scale, their hearts weighed against a delicate feather symbolizing truth and justice. In this pivotal moment, one's entire existence hangs in balance. The Egyptians regarded the heart as more than just a physical organ; it represented one's emotions, intellect, and character. As such, it served as a reflection of both good and bad deeds committed during a person's lifetime. If an individual's heart failed to align with the feather's weightlessness on this cosmic scale, they faced condemnation to non-existence. Intriguingly preserved from an original edition found within private archives, this print transports us back to 1870 when Ikonographische Encyklopadie was published. Its inclusion in Bilder-Atlas offers us insight into how these ancient beliefs captivated minds even centuries later. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Grafissimo at Fine Art Storehouse, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with life after death and our eternal quest for moral righteousness. May this profound image serve as a timeless reminder that our actions shape not only our present but also our destiny beyond mortal realms.
