In the Egyptian mythology, Ammit or the demoness Ammut was really feared by the Ancient Egyptian, Ammit was a demon present in the afterlife judgement, during the trial of the feather,  and was in charge of eating the hearts of sinners, those who didn't live under the precepts of the goddess Ma'at. Ammit or Ammut was an entity believed to have been like the jackal god Anubis, but was forbidden entrance to the real world.  Ammit (A.k.a Ammut) also went by different names, just like many Egyptian gods. Ammit was called Amam, Amemet, Ahemait or simply as Ammut.  the goddess Ammit or Ammut also earned many epithets such as: the greatness of death, the eater of hearts, and the great devourer of Hearts.
