Ancient Egyptian Statue of the God ANUBIS Stand
Black Stone - History of Egypt.
Rare Article
Statue of the God ANUBIS
Anubis assumed different roles in various contexts. Depicted as the protector of tombs as early as the First Dynasty (c. 3100 – c. 2890 BC), Anubis was also an embalmer.
From the Middle Kingdom (c. 2055 – 1650 BC) he was superseded by Osiris in his role as lord of the underworld.
One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife.
He frequented the scales during the "Weighing of the Heart," where it was determined whether a soul would be permitted to enter the realm of the dead. Although he is one of the oldest and "one of the most frequently depicted and mentioned" gods in the Egyptian pantheon, Anubis had almost no role in Egyptian myths.
Anubis was depicted in black, a color symbolizing regeneration, life, the soil of the Nile, and the discoloration of the corpse after embalming. Anubis is associated with Wepwawet (also called Upuaut), another Egyptian god depicted with a jackal head or in canine form, but with gray or white fur. Historians suppose that the two figures were eventually merged. Anubis's female counterpart is Anput. His daughter is the serpent goddess Kebechet.
