Anubis Wall Relief - Small with color details | |
|
Anubis, God of the
Dead, represented
with a head of a
jackal or simply as a
jackal opened the
road to other world
and presided over
embalmment. After a
funeral, Anubis would
take the deceased by
he hand and introduce
him into the presence
of the sovereign
judges where the soul
of the deceased would
be weighed. Anubis
was the Guardian of
Offerings brought to
the ceremony by heirs
of the deceased and
he also guarded the
mummy from evil
forces in the night.
When the body was
embalmed, a priest
wearing a jackal mask
acted as Anubis's
representative. He
also was the guardian
of the Sacred
Esoteric Mysteries.
The origin of this
God lay in the fact
that jackals could be
heard howling in the
desert to the west of
the Nile at sunset-at
the time when burials
took place. Here,
Anubis is shown
carrying the
long 'was' scepter
and the crook and
flail, symbols of
kingship.
