Neither was it ever predicated of brute animals; nay, of many men who appear defective in the most perfect part, it does not seem that it ought to be, or that it could be, predicated; and therefore such as these are termed in the Latin Tongue amenti and dementi, that is, without mind.
Another mummy has the face covered with gold, and the body is inscribed with the gods of the Amenti, on those regions over which they were the genii.
"Thy words are almost as sweet as thy kisses are, O Nitocris!" he said, "for I would sooner see thee yes, I would sooner see thee in the hands of the Paraschites this lovely body of thine dead knowing that thy soul was waiting for mine on the shores of Amenti, than I would know that those sweet lips had been defiled by the touch of such as he; and yet surely thou hast spoken with him.
Effectively, Osiris and Isis are considered as king and queen of the Amenti the region of the West the mansion of the dead, of the ancestors.
Better the earth with all its woes than the quick approach of those unimagined terrors that, hovering in dim Amenti, wait the advent of the fallen. I grovelled on the ground and wept tears of agony for the lost unchanging past wept till I could weep no more; but no answer came from the silence no answer but the echoes of my grief. Not a ray of hope!
The higher class Egyptians, however, fearing that their existence would continue to be of the same shadowy and intangible character after the second judgment, as they believed it would be in the Amenti, if worms were allowed to destroy their bodies, hoped to preserve them until that time by the process of embalming.
One copy, known as the Louvre Papyrus, presents the Divine Comedy, as primarily conceived and illustrated by an archaic Doré. Text and vignettes display the tribunal where the souls of the dead are judged. In the foreground is an altar. Adjacent is a figure, half griffon, half chimera, the Beast of Amenti, perhaps too of the Apocalypse. Beyond, an ape poises a pair of scales.
In the story of his broken years he shows to you what may in its degree be the story of your own. By Osiris who sleeps at Abouthis, I write the truth. I, Harmachis, Hereditary Priest of the Temple, reared by the divine Sethi, aforetime a Pharaoh of Egypt, and now justified in Osiris and ruling in Amenti.
Thou art even as Osiris, and 'Osiris Khenti Amenti' is thy name. The work is closed by an address to the gods, in which it is said that Kersher is sinless, that he feeds and lives upon Truth, that his deeds have satisfied the hearts of the gods, and that he has fed the hungry and given water to the thirsty and clothes to the naked.
Aulêtes was much troubled at these words, and trembled, for, being a wicked man, he greatly feared entering into Amenti. So he caused the girl to be slain because of the evil omen of her saying; crying that he would send her to worship that Pharaoh whom she had named. And the other women he sent away, and played no more upon the flute till he was once again drunk on the morrow.
