Anubis, the Guardian of the Dead, is the Greek name given to the jackal-faced God of the Dead, feared and respected in Egyptian mythology. Anubis is also referred to as Sekhem Em Pet and ancient Egyptian tombs carry the inscribed evidence of prayers offered to Anubis. This God of the Dead not only guides the soul through its last journey, He is also said to guard the dead. Anubis was said to be the fourth son of Ra, but it was later clarified that he was actually the son of Orisis and Nephthys. Anubis is also hailed as the father of Kebechet, who is responsible for the purification of body organs just before mummification. Anubis is shown holding the scepter usually carried by God and Royalty. His symbol is a black and white ox-hide hanging from a pole, dripping with blood. The actual reason for this symbol is not known as of today. �The synthetic resin statue of Anubis you see here is an almost exact replica of the much feared, ancient and powerful jackal-headed God.)
