Best Answer

The ancient Egyptians worshiped Anubis because he was the god of embalming, as well as protector, guide and tester of the dead in the Duat (underworld).

If the question seeks to ask why they believed in Anubis as opposed to [insert religion here]?, the reason is that they believed this for the same reason that people today believe in religions of today: (1) they were convinced by the argument, (2) they were born into families/communities that believed, (3) there was some poltical or economic benefit to believing.
