Origin of Has a heavy heart

The phrase might be originated from the Egyptian mythology that says the dead ones would go for judgment after death and their heart will be weighed against the feather of Truth if their heart will weigh less, and then they will be sent to heaven by Osiris, the God. But, if their heart will weigh more, then they will be put into the jaws of Ammit - a demoness and goddess in ancient Egyptian religion, she has the head of a crocodile, the body of a lion, and the backside of a hippopotamus.
