EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Sarcophagus of Pensenhor, dating back to around 900 BC. The image depicts the ancient Egyptian deity Anubis weighing the heart as part of the judgment process in the afterlife. This artifact, belonging to the 22nd Dynasty and discovered in Thebes, Egypt, is now housed at the prestigious British Museum. The vibrant colors and intricate hieroglyphics adorning this coffin highlight its significance as a religious and cultural symbol. It offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian beliefs surrounding death and rebirth. Anubis, often portrayed with a jackal's head, was believed to guide souls through their journey into the afterlife. The concept of judgment in ancient Egyptian mythology revolved around weighing one's heart against Ma'at -the goddess representing truth and justice- using a feather as counterbalance. If one's heart was found to be lighter than Ma'at's feather, they were deemed worthy of entering paradise; however, if their heart weighed heavy with sin or wrongdoing, it would be devoured by Ammit -a fearsome creature depicted nearby. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary historic artifact but also invites contemplation on life's moral complexities and our own personal journeys towards redemption. Its presence at the British Museum allows visitors from all over the world to connect with Egypt's rich heritage while marveling at its artistic beauty and spiritual significance.
