Sennedjem and Iineferti in the Fields of Iaru
In ancient Egyptian mythology, Aaru, is the heavenly paradise where Osiris rules.The ancient Egyptians believed that the soul resides in the heart and so, upon death, the Weighing of the Heart occurred. Each human heart is weighed on a giant scale against an ostrich feather, which represents the concept of Maat. Those souls which balance the scales are allowed to start a long and perilous journey to the Field of Reeds, where they will exist in pleasure for all eternity.
