An ib is a person's heart and the record of the good and bad deeds. The ib is weighed by Anubis on the scales of justice during the Weighing of the Heart ceremony after the person is successfully transitioned to Egyptian Afterlife. If a person's ib is heavier than theFeather of Truth, it means that they were wicked or untruthful, then the ib or heart is eaten by Ammit the Devourer, and if ib is equal to the feather of truth, it means that person had done good deeds and is worthy for afterlife. The ib is one of the five aspects of the soul alongside the ba, ka, sheut, and ren.
