Police Reports

Case Description: When a fisherman was murdered, the Four Sons were asked to testify about what they knew about the murder from the man's organs.

Case Status: Since the ancient Egyptians believed that memories were held in the heart, and the heart got to stay in the mummy instead of being loaded into one of the Four Sons' canopic jars, the case was stayed until the fisherman's judgment. Then, when Ma'at took the heart out to be weighed, they were able to ask what happened and find and prosecute the murderer.
