So how did the noble fare before the great Osiris?

A dead noble stands trembling in the Hall of Truth. Behind the noble, Horus, the half-falcon, half-man ruler of Earth, unleashes a piercing stare at the quivering man. Thoth, the sharp-beaked, ibis-headed deity of scribes, sharpens his quill — poised to record a verdict of divine judgment.

A dead noble stands trembling in the Hall of

Truth.1

Behind the noble, Horus, the half-falcon,

half-man ruler of Earth, unleashes a piercing

stare at the quivering2 man. Thoth, the sharpbeaked, ibis-headed3

deity4

of scribes, sharpens

his quill — poised to record a verdict of divine

judgment.

Seated before the noble on a golden throne is

Osiris, the king of the dead. Upon his head rests a

glittering crown with a gorgeous white feather

plume on either side. Behind Osiris stands Isis,

the revered

goddess of nature, who is

responsible for bringing the dead earth back to

life each year. She holds an ankh, a cross with a

loop above the bar. An ankh guarantees that a dead person will live forever.

The noble wonders if he will live forever. Or will he be fed to the hideous crocodile-like god called the

Eater of the Dead and forever cease to exist. (How can the noble wonder about all this if he's already

dead? The noble is actually in limbo, a place where the souls of dead people go while being judged.)

Osiris begins the process of judging the noble's life. On one side of a scale, Osiris places the heart of

the noble, which bares the secrets of the soul. Had the soul lied, cheated, or lived an evil life?
