Ammit Sightings
- The Book of the Dead (The Papyrus of Ani) 1300BC - 1200BC
Watch Ammit at work. She sits, ready to eat a bad guy's heart, in this big papyrus scroll. Girl's got hungry eyes.
- The Book of the Dead of Hunefer 1300BC - 1200BC
This guy Hunefer had a Book of the Dead, too. He doesn't want Ammit to have anything to do with him, though! But come on… a girl's gotta eat.
- The Book of the Dead by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child 2007
The heroes of this book pop into a tomb and are scared to death—well, almost—by a picture of Ammit. Since they don't die, she just passes them by. After all, she can only eat the hearts of the bad dead. Sigh.
- The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan 2010
Here, Ammit the Devourer, as she's called, is dubbed a "cute little thing." Ammit? Cute? Hey Thoth—we think you owe her an apology.
- Eye of the Sun by Dianne Hofmeyr 2011
Here, Ammit's accused of carrying people off to the Lake of Fire. Everyone knows she only does that if people are really, really bad, though. Yeesh.
