Ancient Egyptian concept of the soul

The ancient Egyptians believed that a human soul was made up of five parts: the ''Ren'', the ''Ba'', the ''Ka'', the ''Sheut'', and the ''Ib''. In addition to these components of the soul there was the human body (called the ''ha'', occasionally a plural ''haw'', meaning approximately sum of bodily parts). The other souls were ''aakhu,'' ''khaibut,'' and ''khat.''
==Ib (heart)==

An important part of the Egyptian soul was thought to be the ''Ib'' (''jb''), or heart. The ''Ib''〔(''Britannica'', ''Ib'' )〕 or metaphysical heart was believed to be formed from one drop of blood from the child's mother's heart, taken at conception.〔(''Slider'', ''Ab, Egyptian heart and soul conception'' )〕
To ancient Egyptians, the heart was the seat of emotion, thought, will and intention. This is evidenced by the many expressions in the Egyptian language which incorporate the word ''ib'', ''Awt-ib'': happiness (literally, wideness of heart), ''Xak-ib'': estranged (literally, truncated of heart). This word was transcribed by Wallis Budge as ''Ab.''
In Egyptian religion, the heart was the key to the afterlife. It was conceived as surviving death in the nether world, where it gave evidence for, or against, its possessor. It was thought that the heart was examined by Anubis and the deities during the ''Weighing of the Heart'' ceremony. If the heart weighed more than the ''feather of Maat'', it was immediately consumed by the monster Ammit.
