In Egyptian tradition, the heart of the deceased is weighed against a feather to determine whether it will be accepted into the afterlife.

Ra, the creative god
Anubis, god of embalming
Thoth, god of justice

The ancient Egyptians believed that your heart recorded all the good and bad things you'd done in your life. They thought it was needed for judgment in the afterlife. Once a person died, the heart was weighed against the feather of Maat (the goddess of truth and justice). Anubis (the jackal-headed god of embalming) kept an eye on the scales, and Thoth (the ibis-headed god of writing) recorded the results. If a person had lived a good life, the heart would balance with the feather, and the person would be allowed to live forever in paradise with Osiris.
