… According to a book on Egyptian myth I have–and confirmed by the online *Ancient History Encyclopedia* (“The Egyptian Afterlife & The Feather of Truth”)–, the soul must be LIGHTER than Ma’at’s feather, or get eaten by Amenti/Amut.
“THE JUDGEMENT OF OSIRIS
The `heart’ of the soul was handed over to Osiris who placed it on a great golden scale balanced against the white feather of Ma’at, the feather of truth on the other side. If the soul’s heart was *lighter* than the feather then the gods conferred with the Forty-Two Judges and, if they agreed that the soul was justified, the person could pass on toward the bliss of the Field of Reeds.”
