Ancient Egypt Daily Life

Ani, a scribe from Thebes, embarks on a journey to the afterlife, guided by his Book of the Dead. His heart is weighed by Anubis against a feather to determine his worthiness. Mummified and equipped with spells, Ani navigates the dangerous Duat, facing monsters and the serpent god Apep. In the Hall of Ma'at, he declares his innocence to 42 gods. His heart, aided by a scarab amulet, is judged pure, allowing him to enter the afterlife. There, Ani reunites with his parents and tends to his land with a Shabti doll. The Papyrus of Ani, detailing his journey, is housed in the British Museum.
