Anubis, also known as Inpu or Anpu in Ancient Egyptian, is the god of funerary rites and guardian of graves in ancient Egyptian religion, typically depicted with a canine head. Like many Egyptian deities, Anubis had multiple roles, including embalming and guiding souls to the afterlife. He played a significant part in the "Weighing of the Heart," determining a soul's fate. Anubis, depicted in black, symbolized regeneration and life. He is often associated with his brother Wepwawet and his counterpart Anput, with whom he may have been eventually merged.

In the foreground, a segment of the Papyrus of Ani portrays the "weighing of the heart," with Anubis overseeing the scales as he weighs the heart of the deceased against the feather of Maat, symbolizing truth. Anubis determined the fate of souls in this process: those heavier than the feather faced consumption by Ammit, while those lighter ascended to a truthful heavenly existence. 2024 |
