 * Spell it? To spell it properly you need to use heiroglyphs. There are many different spellings and pronunciations these days and they seem to change according to the fashions and the preferences of each age.

 * Ammut (the spelling that I for one was originally taught) is a girl. So, stop saying "his" in questions about her name or relatives or mythology. -The Mysterious El Willstro 71.181.140.237

This article has no citations at all. The story with the pole with seven balls seems in particular need of citation or reference.
 * Sure it does! It has exactly 1 citation. I'm not saying that's enough, but it's more than none at all. -The Mysterious El Willstro 209.183.188.103 (talk) 06:43, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Sources: Ammit Book of the Dead, Plates 3 & 31
E.A.Wallis Budge, THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD (The Papyrus of Ani) Egyptian Text and Transliteration and Translation. (Dover Press, 1967.) This is one of those perdurable books destined to go on and on. While many scholars express reservations re Budge's work, I would still regard it as a good starting place. He provides a detailed exposition of signs, gods and goddess of ancient Egypt, the plates and the place of THE BOOK OF THE DEAD--The Going Forth by Day--in the culture of Ancient Egypt.

A more recent production: THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD--The Book of Going Forth by Day, being the Papyrus of Ani, translated by Dr. Raymond O. Faulkner With orginal color Illustrations based on the Facsimile Volume produced in 1890 under the Supervision of P. Le Page Renouf and E. A. Wallis Budge. (Chronicle Books, 1998.)

A picture of Ammit appears on Plate 3, Vignette 30B: "Chapter for not letting Ani's heart create opposition against him in the God's Domain." And appears again on Plate 31, Vignette 125: "The Declaration of Innocence Before the Gods of the Tribunal." (Chronicle edition.)StevenTorrey (talk) 17:29, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Male versions
Aside from Palladium Books which presented Ammit as male in the 80s Palladium RPG then early 90s in Rifts Africa then late 90s in Dragons and Gods did any other versions present a male fork of the goddess? I am curious if gender was as flexible here as with Kek (mythology) who had more ofna clear dual role. Ranze (talk) 05:53, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

See Also: Chalkydri. Why?
There's a "see also" link from here to chalkydri, and a link back the other way. There's no clue in either article about what kind of relationship there is between the subjects. And it's hard to see what they have in common. My guess is that some video game or anime or whatever loosely based on Egyptian mythology also threw in some Hellenic Jewish mythology? But if so, without actually saying that somewhere, the link is useless and confusing. Also, while it's possible that game/whatever was the main reason people were searching for information about Ammit a few months ago, I doubt that's true anymore after Moon Knight began on Disney+.

The links were added by Prana1111 on 31 Jan 2022, with the edit note "do not appear to be visible in template anymore". The chalkydri article was also given a link to Sobek, which was given a link back here; none of the other pages have any more explanation for the links.

I'm going to remove all of these links. --157.131.223.243 (talk) 21:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Does Ammit have any siblings?
If Anubis has a sibling then why doesn't Ammit? 2A02:C7C:8896:F200:50E7:73EC:F044:B28C (talk) 16:16, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
