In the ancient Egypt, the judgment of the heart is a ceremony during which a divine court chaired by Osiris decides if the Ka of a late merit immortality.

The belief of a Vie after death is deeply anchored at the former Egyptians. Having undoubtedly for origin the contemplation of natural phenomena, the such immutable stars, to raise it eternal of the sun, the vegetable revival as well as the appearance of raw the the otic Nile reinforced the idea that the man, integral part and indissociable of the Nature, underwent to him-also a cyclic mode, passing from the terrestrial life to the eternal life, under penalty of attracting towards him the divine considerations.

For the Egyptians, the being comprises a Bâ, improperly translated by the heart, a shade, a akh and a body (Djet) must be intact so that the Ka, double spiritual, can reach the underground world. What explains why very early in the history, the funerary rites aim at preserving the physical integrity.

Resulting from the natural Momification, the sand and the arid climate of the desert preserving sometimes well better than the embalming, the corpse removed from its bodies, except the heart, sit of the thought, are desiccated by Natron, natural salt, lasting seventy days.

The departed continuous of living with identical its terrestrial existence without the nuisances, thanks to the prophylactic scenes painted on the walls of its tomb and with the objects deposited in this one. Pharaon, brother of the gods and just recognized voice, accompanies Re in its celestial boat.

Master of the kingdom of deaths, Osiris chairs the divine court, which will allow the Ka the late one to reach the world of the happy one. But the road long, is sown obstacles and difficulties. Is not immortal which wants! For that the ka must be powerful, which implies a terrestrial life rich and right.

Helped of the specimen of the Book to leave in the light (the book of dead), that the family had care to slip into the Sarcophage, the ka sees Re incarnated in cat, to triumph over darkness by decapitating the snake Apophis.

It must quote the names of the guards and demons which take care on the ten doors of the underground world. He claims with Anubis a new heart. Transforming itself into gold falcon, in snake Sito in Ptah, out of ram, héron and lotus, it fights Apophis once again. Reciting the magic incantations and formulas, it reaches the divine court where the forty-two demons are held of the hells.

Then Anubis, Master of the embalming, brings the ka the late one in the room of the judgment chaired by Osiris. The heart is deposited in the balance and on the other side of the balance, the feather, symbol of Maât. The late one recites by negative the faults which they did not make at the time of its terrestrial life. If the balances balance, he is recognized “just voice” and can reach the following stage, if its heart is heavier than Maât, Babaï devours to him and it is finished by it immortality. The result is transcribed on a papyrus by Thot, the god of the scribes. In short, the alive men according to Maât can be justified by the court of Osiris.

The myth osirien of the judgment of the heart is an example of Psychostasie.
