Anubis Fun Facts
Anubis was often depicted with a jackal head, symbolizing his role as the protector of the dead and the guide to the afterlife, but ancient Egyptians also associated him with mummification rituals.
Anubis was believed to weigh the hearts of the deceased against the feather of Ma'at; if the heart was lighter, the person could enter the afterlife, but if heavier, it would be devoured by the goddess Ammit.
