EGYPTIAN
Anubis Wall Plaque
ANUBIS or Anpu, son of Nephthys, sister of Isis, was
the jackal god of the dead. He superintended funerals and, with Thoth
and Maat, presided over the ceremony of the Weighing of the Heart.
Anubis led the souls of the dead into the Kingdom of Osiris and possessed
the power to overcome evil forces which might be encountered along
the way. To protect an Ancient Egyptian tomb from evil spirits and
devils, an amulet of Anubis was placed on a tablet of incense and
put on a brick in the east wall of the tomb. Also, an amulet representing
the two fingers of Anubis who assisted Osiris to climb the ladder
to heaven was placed in with a mummy to assist the soul on its journey.
