Ani's Journey in the Afterlife

The video explores Ani's journey in the Egyptian afterlife, as depicted in his Book of the Dead. Ani, a scribe from Thebes, undergoes mummification and faces challenges in the underworld, including monsters and the serpent god Apep. With the help of spells from his scroll, Ani reaches the Hall of Ma'at for judgment. His heart is weighed against a feather, and thanks to a heart scarab amulet, Ani's heart is deemed pure.
