Day 4: Ammut or Ammit
Stayed with the Egyptian theme for today too. Another goddess, but this one is darker and more of a beastie. Meet Ammut or Ammit, she is made up of the 3 largest man-eaters in Egypt, the crocodile, lion and hippo. Her place is at the side of Anubis, hanging out by the scales of justice where the heart of the deceased is weighed to see if they get into the afterlife or not. If their heart was deemed impure, Ammut devoured it and they were unable to continue to immortality in the afterlife.
