    Excellent

    The story behind the papyrus of Ani, the Egyptian book of the dead is fascinating. I was stunned to find that morality was a central goal for the life of Egyptians. An Egyptian seeking to make it into eternal life must appear in judgment and declare his innocence before the gods who judge him to be worthy of an afterlife. His heart will be placed on a scale and weighed against a feather in their final determination. This message is lost in the accounts of others. And it was especially inspiring to hear.
