Anubis the Egyptian deity is a protective god associated with death. One of the oldest of the Egyptian deities, he was worshipped for his protection, and was highly regarded for his important role in the journey after death.<\/p>\n
Anubis the Egyptian god protected the dead while he accompanied them to the afterworld to conduct their judgement ceremony. With the head of a jackal, he was a strong canine god to protect the graves of the freshly deceased from wild dogs in the cemetery, as well as protect souls on their journey after death. <\/strong><\/p>\n Anubis was regarded as the god of the dead during the Early Dynastic period and the Old Kingdom.
