''Duat''

By Crusader1307

In Ancient Egyptian Religion – The Duat was the name given to The Underworld. It was here, all non-Deities (Humans), were judged by Osiris and Anubis. Similar to ''The Living World'', in that Duat featured rivers, trees etc – it was however, perpetually shrouded in both darkness and twilight. It was in the skies over Duat, that Ra made His nightly ''journey'' to battle Apophis, by which His nightly ''defeat'' heralded the coming daylight. Often confused with The Western theology of Hades, Duat was a place of Judgment and not one of initial torment for earthly wrongdoings. Another ''level'' of Duat was used by the previously discussed Ammit (The Tormentor) for that!
