Judgement Of The Dead Part 2
The Aligator Creature on the left is Ammit. The creature on the right is Thoth.
So the entire scene shows Anubis overseeing the judgement of a dead person. If their heart is lighter than the feather of Maat, then Thoth records their details and the dead move on to the afterlife. If the heart is heavier, then Ammit devours it, erasing the dead person's soul from existence.
I cannot stress how amazing this room looks. Watch the film when it is uploaded, and go visit yourself if you can. The morgue ceiling has a big hole in it, and there is no guarantee that this work of art will survive the winter, so give it some love as soon as you can.
Huge Burnout
This made me laugh. I imagine the Head of any Hospital must run the risk of burnout. It is particularly funny though, because I know the door leads to the old Boiler Room.
Old Boiler
That poor old boiler looks so sad.
Natural Art
Mother Nature herself is a bit of an artist. I love the scene she has created in this old room. The paint peeling off the ceiling is particularly impressive.
Imaginary Friend
Next on our tour of the gallery is the Psychotherapy Room. I see a little girl is in front of us, and she is bringing her imaginary friend.

The Abandoned Hospital at Amiantos Mines
The Cyprus Asbestos Mine is situated right in the heart of Troodos forest. Following a continuous operation of 84 years, the mine came to a sudden closure in 1988, leaving behind large volumes of waste tips, a badly designed mine pit and an unacceptable environmental scar to an otherwise heavily forested natural beauty area. It also left behind a hospital, which now stands abandoned on the other side of the valley. While environmental steps have been taken to turn the area near the mines into a nature park, the hospital has been let to nature.
Return To Amiantos Hospital
Amiantos Hospital was abandoned in the Eighties, when the nearby mine closed down. along with the nearby village of Pano Amiantos. Now it is slowly being reclaimed by nature while at the same time being used as a sketchpad by the local graffiti artists. If you want some easy-access Urban Exploring in an amazin location, it is a good place to head for.Related Pages
