Influence Of Anubis In Ancient Egyptian Culture
1. Influence Of Anubis In Ancient Egyptian Culture
In the wide variety of cultures spread across the world there is one culture that captivates the
metaphorical power of animals through their beliefs and religion. Egypt is an arid landscape with
not much in ight, however, their religion is the opposite of the desert. Egypt has many beliefs
surrounding creation, heros, and romantic consequences, however, Egypt contains one of the most
complex beliefs surrounding the concepts of afterlife. One god that was linked to afterlife is Anubis,
the god of embalming. Anubis has the head of a black Jackal, and the body of a human. Anubis
would help guide spirits through the afterlife to reach the underworld, that is–if they are honest
souls. The importance of learning about Anubis is that Anubis had an ... Show more content on

Anubis was used as a teaching tool for the Egyptian culture, and he also influenced other societies
who learned about him through trade or through conquering egypt.Anubis was used as a teaching
tool because people who were to commit crimes were told that Anubis would lead them not to
Osiris' throne, but to an afterlife of unhappiness. Anubis had large influence over the actions of some
egyptians and was used to teach people to be polite, as ""The preservation of the body was
extremely important in ancient egyptian religion...Their survival in the after life was linked to two
factors: the continued existence of the body,and the remembrance of the name." (109) Using this
philosophy, the egyptians believed that bad soul would perish in the afterlife without Anubis' help
embalming them resulting in people respecting each other because of the power of Anubis. While
Anubis did have a powerful effect on the Egyptian people, Anubis also contributes to mythology in
other cultures. For example, when the Romans came in contact with Egypt, they learned about each
other's cultures and religions. One concept of the god that transferred over to another society is
Anubis,"Bending over a large, smooth, disc, is shown as a participant in the activities surrounding
the divine birth of hatshepsut. Over a millennium later, the scene reappears in the mammisi of
Nectanebo 1 at Dendera and becomes a standard feature in the Graeco–Roman birth houses. It is

3. Anubis Embalm Osiris
The Egyptian god, Anubis, is usually associated with mummification and the afterlife. The oldest
known textual mention of Anubis is in the Pyramid Texts of the Old Kingdom (c. 2686 – c. 2181
BC), where he is associated with the burial of the pharaoh. In the Old Kingdom, Anubis was the
most important god of the dead. He was replaced in that role by Osiris during the Middle Kingdom
(2000–1700 BC). In the Roman era, tomb paintings depict him holding the hand of deceased
persons to guide them to Osiris. The parentage of Anubis varied between myths, times and sources.
In early mythology, he was portrayed as a son of Ra. In the Coffin Texts, which were written in the
First Intermediate Period (c. 2181–2055 BC), Anubis is the son of either the cow goddess Hesat or

He has many titles, a few of them being the embalmer, the guide of souls, and the weigher of the
heart. His title, the embalmer, comes from the myth of Osiris. In which he helped Isis embalm
Osiris. In return he was given the organs of Osiris as a gift. With this connection, Anubis became the
patron god of embalmers. Illustrations from the Book of the Dead often show a wolf–mask–wearing
priest supporting the upright mummy (who we can assume is Anubis). Another one of his jobs, is
guiding souls through the threshold between the land of the living, and the afterlife. Funerary art
from that period represents Anubis guiding either men or women into the the underworld. Another
job he has is weighing of the heart. Anubis performed a measurement that determined whether the
person was worthy of entering the realm of the dead. By weighing the heart of a deceased person
against Ma'at (or "truth"), who was often represented as an ostrich feather, Anubis dictated the fate
of souls. Souls heavier than a feather would be devoured by Ammit, and souls lighter than a feather
would ascend to a heavenly existence. These are a few of Anubis' main

In very ancient Egyptian history, Anubis was once called "Duat" and was the supreme ruler of the
underworld, until the myths of Osiris, the weird green dude, came by and stole that from him.
Kind've unfair, since this pickle guy just straight up stole Anubis's place as ruler.
Anubis was reassigned to "God of Embalming", which is just depressing. In ancient Egypt, Anubis
is being represented by priests wearing masks of jackals, as a tribute to Anubis while mummifying
corpses. And, this leads me to another fact about Anubis, his jackal head. The reason this exists is
because jackals were commonly found in cemeteries, and the people of ancient Egypt thought they

always appear during embalming of a pharaoh or another upper class. This is how the ancient
Egyptians knew Anubis is watching over them. Anubis would lead the ancient Egyptians into the
darkness of the underworld. Anubis is the most important god for the the old kingdom (2686–2181
BC). Anubis also had many other roles.

The pillar is in the original place while the lion capital has since been moved to a large India
Museum. The work is approximately 7 feet tall including the robust base piece. This sculpture was
made of one piece of sandstone and was built separately from the pillar that still rests in Sarnath.
One might be wondering why cut it from a different piece of sandstone and then attach it to the
pillar? My assumption is that this piece was important therefore the sculpture took extra measures to
ensure its perfection. By creating the piece separately detail could be packed into the parts of the
work, for instance the lions are meticulously sculpted and share almost no imperfections from one
lion to the next. Even on the lower register we see great detail in the Buddhist wheel, the buffalo and
the lotus. Also considering it was cut from one piece of sandstone speaks to the sculptures skill.

Ashoka, who was called the Lion King. The wheel is a sign of Buddha as well as the lotus which

Ancient Egyptian Beliefs and Customs
Religion for Ancient Egyptians was a very crucial part of day to day life, as it was the epitome of
significance for all existence and life after death. Tradition was a major aspect to their belief system
as many followed what was dictated to them without question. Laws and customs were generally
just accepted due to the era they were in, thus no room was allowed for change.
The Ancient Egyptian belief system was not based on a set of strict religious principles, instead their

15. Mummification In Ancient Egypt
Death was a very important topic for Egyptians. Anyone and everyone in Egypt took it seriously
because they believed that it was an important chapter is one's life. Although death was an upsetting
time, Egyptians still wanted to make death a time of celebration by decorating the tombs and leaving
gifts. They go through a long process of preparation for the dead because it shows that they still
care. Egyptians believed that death was just as important as life, so they tried to make it special.
Egyptians used mummification, believed in the afterlife, and praised the protector of the dead,
Anubis, to exhibit what death meant to them. Egypt is known for one of their popular things,
mummies. People who think of Egypt they think of the pyramids or the mummies. What people do

ancient Egyptians, life continued even after death – in the afterlife. To them, death was only a
temporary interruption or a pause to life" (IP Factly). To the Egyptians the afterlife is life just in
another dimension. The reason why many Egyptians take death very seriously is because they
believed that the afterlife should be just as good as life. According to IP Factly, "It was believed that
the ba, the spirit, would return to it's body every night to receive new life." Egyptians were certained
that after death one's spirit is still able to return to their body. Since this theory was important this
was why they were also very cautious with the preservation of the body. Taking care of the body
symbolized taking care of the spirit because a quality body will transfer into a quality spirit. All

Egypt and Mesopotamia were both two of the earliest known civilizations. Egypt was built on both
sides of the Nile River, while Mesopotamia was built in between Tigris River, and the Euphrates
River. Their geographic location permitted water resources that granted fertile land for successful
agriculture. Although both civilizations had their similarities and differences, agriculture was their
primary living resource, as well as polytheistic being their primary religion. As a matter of fact, they
believed in multiple gods and goddesses, and it was very important to maintain good relationships
with them to ensure positive outcomes. Therefore, Osiris, Anubis, and Ereshkigal all shared similar
roles and positions throughout their area. Osiris was an ancient Egyptian god known as the god of
the afterlife, that ruled during the golden age. He was also identified as the god of resurrection and
fertility. He was recognized by his pharaoh's beard, and his green skin that symbolized re–birth and
resurrection. In addition, he was also partially mummy wrapped. He was found through allusions
from the pyramid texts. He was well known as the religion of the night, because he would look over
civilization during the night through the Orion star. The sacrifices to Osiris were gloomy, sincere,
and mournful. During their sacrifices individuals would lay on beds that were shaped like Osiris.

25. Ancient Egypt : The Egyptian God Anubis Essay
Ancient Egypt is the origin to one of the most intricate belief systems in the world. This polytheistic
religion was composed of various beliefs and rituals. Polytheistic means that they believed in many
deities. All of which were linked to the common theme of immortality. Religion laid the foundation
for all aspects of Egyptian lives, political structure, cultural achievement and art. Their religion
consisted of up 2000 gods and goddess. Only some were worshiped universally throughout Egypt.
They were often represented as being half human and half animal. As an example, the Egyptian god
Anubis was half man and half jackal. He is associated with mummification and the afterlife in
Egyptian mythology. Egyptian religion was oriented toward people 's' attainment of immortality
signified by mummification/preservation of the dead.
The doctrine of eternal life is based on the ancient story the legend Osiris. There appears to be many
versions of the Legend of Osiris scattered throughout Egypt 's ancient history. However, the story of
Osiris' resurrection after a sadistic death and savage mutilation inflicted by evil forces remained the
same throughout the history.¹ The goddess Rhea birthed five children, the first of whom was Osiris.

ruled over the land of no return called Kurnugia. Myths have told that Kurnugia was beneath the
mountains of sunset. The underworld had seven gates to sustain and keep those who deserved to be
held. The dead had nothing but muddy water to drink, and dust to eat. Ereshkigal was feared
because she represented one's final destination. Ereshkigal was often represented in prayers and
rituals. According to her stories she encouraged piety people. If she would be able to suffer injustice

a lion ("Griffin"). The griffin shown has sharp talons and beak with pointed eyes. Lions were
repeatedly seen throughout Assyrian artwork (Ascalone). The muscular legs and abdomen paired
with a strong neck and flanks gave a symbolic image of the ideal solider or army. People in this era
knew how lions would have appeared face to face, untamed and never enclosed. To a people with
needed protection from lions, their image represented a dominance and power. Two tenons, or pieces

Important Egyptian Animals
Today we love technology as much as Egyptians loved animals. Cats, jackals, and crocodiles are
some of the many animals that Ancient Egyptians worshipped but they are more likely to be
worshipped. Ancient Egyptians worshipped many animals and gods, but these three animals were
most commonly worshipped. They all had an affect on Egyptian lifestyle. You will be learning about
three animals that were a huge part in an Egyptian's life.
I'm almost certain that everyone knows that people are cats were worshipped in Egypt. But I'm not
so sure about people knowing that Bubastis in northern Egypt worshipped cats more than any other
city. But in all that worshipping there has to be some haters, amongst those haters may be
murderers(of cats obviously, what were you thinking). Even if someone killed a cat by accident they
could and probably would be sentenced to death. Once their cat died, the owners would shave their
eyebrows off in mourning. They would mourn until their eyebrows grew back. Cats were household
pets unlike crocodiles but they were treated with the same respect. ... Show more content on

Anubis is the Egyptian god of the dead, tombs, and embalming. He was depicted with a body of a
man and the head of a jackal. The shrine of him inside of King Tut's tomb showed him in his full
jackal form. Many people believe the reason Anubis lazuli as a jackal is that jackals were often seen
around tombs and graves hunting for rodents. This led people to believe that the sightings made the
Egyptians believe that jackals protected the dead. This is why Anubis was made the god of
embalming and of cemeteries and why a shrine of him was placed in King Tut's tomb.
The fan was important to have in tombs because it symbolized a happy afterlife. Since the fan
represented the air it moved, it was a symbol of breathing and therefore of life itself.

57. Imagery Of Amulets : The Eye Of Horus, Or Wedjet ( Fig )
The imagery of amulets is repeated throughout the excavated Ancient Egyptian tombs, such as that
of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen of the 18th dynasty. It is clear these amulets played a crucial role in the
mummification process. One of the most well known and intricately defined amulets is the Eye of
Horus. It has an extensive religious meaning as well as a thorough and complex belief system to
support its importance. The story behind the Eye of Horus has been the greatest influence behind the
famous funerary processes of Ancient Egypt. The Eye of Horus, or Wedjet (Fig. 1) was a major
religious symbol of Ancient Egypt and is still used in modern day life. It depicts a human eye with
characteristics of a falcon, however it has a much deeper meaning due to the fact it represents, as the
name suggests, the eye of the Horus and the immense history that comes with the name. The concept
of Horus originated in around 3000 BCE. This early Egyptian concept depicts Horus as a partial
divinity as well as their king. In addition to being the king of Egypt, another concept of Horus
existed in which Horus was the lord of the sky. However, these two perceptions were not conflicting
and were well accepted by the Egyptians. There is also a more perplexing idea in which there are 2
versions of Horus, Horus the Elder, who becomes the deity Osiris after his death or is also
mentioned as the brother of Osiris, and Horus the Son, who is named this due to his familial relation
to Osiris.

The Temple of Hatshepsut acts as an ancient funerary shrine located in Upper Egypt, built for and
by Pharaoh Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC. This temple, using the medium of limestone, is
located beneath the cliffs at Deir el Bahari, on the west bank of the Nile near the Valley of the
Kings. Temple of Hatshepsut is not only a memorial temple that praises Queen Hatshepsut, it is also
seen to be one of the greatest Egyptian architectural achievements. This prehistoric monument
emphasizes the great beyond by embellishing visual sanctuary representations and strategic
placement calculations to find its relation to the afterlife.
To illustrate the exceptional work within the Temple of Hatshepsut, the first, second, and third levels
of the temple all featured elaborate paintings, reliefs, and statuary. Specifically focusing on the
second level of Hatshepsut's mortuary temple, it contained a statue named Anubis Chapel. This
figure showed promising correlation to the afterlife; Anubis is the god of mummification and the
cemetery. The statue frequently displayed the body of a man and the head of a jackal, sitting on a
throne facing a pile of offerings which reaches in eight levels from bottom to top of the register.

Christianity was based on some Egyptian gods.

an embodiment of the sun. He is said to have created the universe and all living things. Due to this

The story of Enuma Elish are inscribed on 7 cuneiform tablets which was recovered by a collector

Genesis, Exodus and the Psalms. In Enuma Elish presented to the father and mother as Apsu and
Tiamat represented as saltwater and freshwater and were present before the creation of the universe.
The epic begins this way: 'When on high ... No heaven HAD Been named, called earth No, not
Annunaki ... There was nothing ... nothing but Old Father Apsu and Mummu–Tiamat, Mother of All
Living". This describes a series of Gods that were created and later gained wisdom leading to a
similarity to Genesis presenting the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden and so says: Increasing

of order in a chaotic world. Ea is another god who kills Apsu to prevent what he had planned.
Genesis also describes a world full of chaos and God decided to give skills to everyone in order to
bring a new order. In Enuma Elish, Ea joins Damkina and has a divine and perfect son whom they
call Marduk. In the tablet fragments, phrases were recited found in the Bible, such as "Divine the
womb That bore him" (Luke 11:27), "My beloved is! My son, who is my Sun, Sun for all the
