Duat was the realm of the dead in ancient Egyptian mythology,[2] the place where souls go to be judged.[1] It was the realm of the deity Osiris and the residence of other gods and supernatural beings. The streets of Duat are crowded with Ushabtis, clay funerary figurines buried in tombs in the Earth realm that become magically animated in the afterlife and are sent out to perform menial tasks for Duat's inhabitants.[3] An interdimensional nexus between Duat and the Earth realm exists somewhere in the vicinity of Naama Bay near Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.[2]
The realm of Duat is purely psychoactive, and its physical geography can shift and reshuffle based on the content of one's heart without the proper mental discipline.[1]
