Judges of the Dead

Egyptian religion. "The Assessors of Maat were 42 minor ancient Egyptian deities of the Maat charged with judging the souls of the dead in the afterlife by joining the judgment of Osiris in the Weighing of the Heart." [Assessors of Maat, Wikipedia]

The mummies at the Probilski Foundation had the faces carefully preserved so they could be recognized by the forty-two Judges of the Dead. [RB Strange]
