Ammut helped change Egypt for the better by helping the Egyptians figure out who's going to go to the afterlife by weighing their heart to a feather. If your heart was heavier than the feather, Ammut will devour the hearts of those that contain wicked hearts, but if your heart is lighter than the feather of truth, you will be passed on to the afterlife. That's why, in Egypt, some people used to starve themselves so that when they die they will be lighter than the feather of truth, just to get into the afterlife without Ammut eating your heart.
Ammut is mixed with three different animals, each for different emotions. The animals are a lion, a crocodile, and a hippopotamus. The crocodile mouth is very useful when it comes to eating hearts.
