You had to earn your way. There were rules. To enter your  afterlife, you had to have a light heart. Light hearts were earned from a lifetime of doing good deeds.  The god Anubis weighed your heart. The god Thoth recorded the findings. (In ancient Egypt, everything was recorded and written down.)

  13. Your heart had to be lighter than a feather.

In 1946, Aga Khan III, Sultan Mohammed Shah, was weighed on this scale - the Ismaili community gave him a gift of his weight in diamonds (£684,000 worth) for his diamond jubilee. He used it to build housing, hospitals and better the Ismaili community in Africa.
