  4. Thoth • Moon god • Head of an ibis • Scribe (records the weight of the hearts in the underworld) • Invented writing • From the Book of the Dead:“Hear the word of the very truth. I have judged the heart of the deceased, and his soul stands witness for him. His deeds are righteous in the great balance and no sin has been found in him.”

  5. Osiris • King of the afterlife • Usually shown as a bearded, mummified human with green skin and wearing the atef crown. His hands come out from the mummy wrappings and hold the flail and crook.
