The underworld, also known as Duat, was a key location in the Egyptian mythological concept of the afterlife. This realm was reserved for the souls of those who failed the 'Weighing of the Heart' ceremony. In this painting, the underworld is depicted as a dark and foreboding place, with Ammit, the devourer of souls, lurking in the shadows. The atmosphere is intense and foreboding, reflecting the fear and dread associated with this place.
