Description
English: The human spirit is ready for its journey through the underworld. There, the person's heart will be judged by the person's good deeds on earth. If the heart is found to be pure he will be sent to live for all eternity in the beautiful 'Field of Reeds', or possibly sent to Ammit.
Français : L'esprit humain est prêt pour son voyage par la pègre. Là, le coeur de la personne sera jugé par les bonnes actions de la personne sur la terre. Si le coeur est trouvé pour être pur qu'il sera envoyé pour vivre pour toute l'éternité dans le beau ‹ le Champ de Roseaux ›, ou probablement envoyé à Ammit.
