Pictured is a print of the judgement scene from `Book of the Dead` on a wall in a jewelry store in Luxor, Egypt. The original is in the British Museum. From left to right, the dead man Hunefer is taken into the judgement hall by Anubis. His heart is weighed against the feather of Ma`at, with Ammut waiting the result, and Thoth recording. Next the triumphant Hunefer, having passed the test, is presented by Horus to Osiris, seated in his shrine with Isis and Nephthys.
