Mummy Secrets and the Journey to Eternity
The Ostrich Feather Scale: The Court of Truth
The most important moment in the journey was the Court of Truth! The Egyptians believed the king had to stand before a giant golden scale. On one side, they placed his heart, and on the other, they placed a super light ostrich feather called the Feather of Maat, which stood for honesty and good deeds. If a person was kind and honest their whole life, their heart would be as light as the feather, and they would win a ticket into the world of happiness. But if they were mean and told lies, their heart would be heavy and get eaten by fantasy monsters! It was a great lesson teaching them to be kind and loyal kids all their lives.
