Comment: Actually, Khaos, Anubis was the one who weighed hearts against the feather of truth. He did this in the presence of two other gods, Osiris (god of the underworld) and Thoth (god of change/progression.) The "crocodile-headed god" you refer to is Sobek and he is more or less known as the keeper of The Nile. Please note, no one can ever be completely right about Egyptian Mythology because a lot of things changed from Pharaoh to Pharaoh. Nice tattoo, I want a good Anubis tat myself.

Comment: You should know that it wasn't anubis that weighed the hearts, it was a crocodile god, Anubis was just in charge of guarding the place..

Comment: I guess I should explain the significance of it - If you\\'re looking at this you probably already know, but here goes.

Anubis was responsible for guarding the dead through the afterlife. Once embalmed, Anubis\\'s first task was to weigh your heart against the feather of Ma\\'at. If your heart was lighter than the feather, you were worthy of an afterlife. If not, then your soul would be devoured. It\\'s where we get the term \\"Lighthearted\\" from.
