Anubis is an ancient Egyptian god associated with mummification and the afterlife, often depicted as a jackal or a man with a jackal’s head. He played a central role in guiding souls to the afterlife and overseeing the weighing of the heart ceremony, where the deceased’s heart was weighed against the feather of Ma’at to determine their fate.
