грехи в древнем Египте

Two major innovations in Egyptian afterlife found in The Book of the Dead are the description of the trial of the dead in spells 30b and 125b, which consists of the famous "psychostasy," or weighing of the soul on the scales of the keeper of the balance, and the no less famous "negative confession of sin" by the deceased in spell 125a. Although in general an Egyptian was supposed to do good and shun evil, his list of wrong actions may strike us as odd, especially when it comes to overwork, which is considered to be one of the worst transgressions: "I have done no veil, I have not daily made labor in excess of what was due ... my name has not reached the offices of those who control slaves, I have not deprived the orphan of his property ... I have not killed ... etc."

To the same series of wrong actions belonged making off with food offerings for the gods and the spirits, cheating, and any ecological devastation such as building illicit dams in flowing water, diverting watercourses, or catching fish in marshland, where they lay their roe.
