Anubis--Egyptian


This is the soul-stealer--Anubis, the son of Osiris...
I'll find more details about it...or should we say "him"...

OK, here's the other detail:
He guided the souls of the dead from the world of the living to the world of the dead. Anubis was also responsible for weighing the actions of the deceased in terms of good or evil. He is also considered the inventor of embalming and mummification, who had embalmed and mummified the dead god Osiris.

Other Names: Anepo, Anpu
Father: Osiris, Set, or Ra
Mother: Isis or Nephthys
Wife: Mat
Depicted: Anubis is usually depicted as having the head of a jackal.
