 | | In Egyptian mythology, Ammit (also spelt Ammut, and Ahemait) was the personification of divine retribution for all the wrongs one had committed in life. |
 | | Ammit was said to live near the scales of justice, in the underworld, Duat, where the hearts of the dead were weighed by Anubis against Ma'at, the principle of truth and justice. |
 | | Ammit was not worshipped, and was never regarded as a goddess, instead she embodied all that the Egyptians feared, threatening to bind them to eternal restlessness if they did not follow the principle of Ma'at. |
