“The feather was symbolic of perfection and purity. The human heart was symbolic of human behavior or conduct. If the feather, a light-weight object, was placed on one of the trays of the scale, and if the heart was placed on the other tray, the scale would be severely out of balance because of the weight of the heart. Therefore, the meaning of the ‘weighing of the heart’ scene is that humans must always pursue moral and spiritual perfection.”
-Theophile Obenga, Icons of Maāt
