Ancient Egyptians held a complex belief regarding the soul after death. They thought the soul consisted of multiple parts, primarily the Ka and the Ba. After death, it was believed that the soul would undergo a judgment process, weighing the heart against the feather of Maat, symbolizing truth and justice. If deemed worthy, the soul could enter the afterlife, while an unworthy soul faced annihilation. This belief reflected their values around morality, balance, and the eternal nature of the spirit.
