The Judgment Scene - Anis heart being weighed in the balance
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking print that takes us back to ancient Egypt. This color lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, captures a significant moment from Egyptian mythology and religion. In this scene, we witness Ani's heart being carefully weighed on a set of scales against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth and justice. The symbols and hieroglyphs surrounding them represent various gods and goddesses associated with death, afterlife, and virtue. As Ani's wife looks on anxiously, Thoth, the god of writing and wisdom, records the outcome for judgment. This illustration originates from "Signs and Symbols of Primordial Man" a book by Albert Churchward published in London in 1913. It draws inspiration from the Papyrus of Ani (Book of the Dead), an ancient Egyptian funerary text that guided individuals through their journey into the afterlife. The image beautifully conveys both awe-inspiring religious beliefs as well as archaeological significance. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as morality, righteousness, and one's worthiness for eternal life. Through its intricate details and vivid colors, it transports us back to a time when language was written in hieroglyphics and gods played pivotal roles in people's lives. "The Judgment Scene - Anis heart being weighed in the balance" serves as a reminder that even thousands of years later
