According to ancient Egyptian beliefs, the heart (ib) was regarded as the centre of intelligence, emotions, and behaviour. It was also believed to store a person's memories. During the Weighing of the Heart ceremony in the afterlife, the heart could speak on behalf of the deceased and account for their lifetime of actions before Osiris. For this reason, heart amulets were placed on the mummy to protect the organ and ensure a favourable outcome during judgment. -
