The Duat, the Realm of the Dead, was an aspect of the Egyptian afterlife.
It was in the Duat that the recently deceased had their heart weighed against a feather of Ma'at by Osiris or Anubis, depending on the historical period and region. Those whose hearts were deemed to be pure were allowed to pass on to the heavenly paradise of Aaru or Aten, depending on which religion the person followed; however, for those whose hearts were deemed to be impure, Ammit, the "devourer of the dead", would consume the heart and the ones undergoing judgement would be denied from continuing their voyage into the afterlife.
