Judgement (~by IJ Nakano)



Judgement (by IJ Nakano)

Anubis, in Egyptian mythology, the god and protector of the dead, the son of the god of vegetation Osiris and Nephthys, the sister of Isis. Newborn Anubis Nephthys hid from her husband Seth in the swamps of the Nile delta. Mother goddess Isis found the young god, and brought him up.
Later, when Seth had killed Osiris, Anubis, god of arranging the burial of the deceased, his body wrapped in cloth soaked in a special composition, thereby making the first mummy. Therefore, Anubis considered the creator of funeral rites and call god of embalming. Anubis also helped to judge the dead and accompanied the righteous to the throne of Osiris. Anubis is portrayed as a jackal or wild dog Sabe black (or a man with the head of a jackal or dog).
Center of the cult of Anubis - the city of the 17 th Casa nome (Greek Kinopol - "dog town").
