Information: In Ancient Egypt Anubis was the god of embalming and the dead. Since jackals were often seen in cemeteries the ancient Egyptians believed that Anubis watched over the dead.

He was depicted as a human with a Jackal's head or just as a Jackal. He was also associated with the protection of the dead for their journey into the afterlife.
