It must be noted that according to some myths, Anubis was the child of Osiris. According to the myth, Nephthys turned into Isis and seduced Osiris and later became pregnant with Anubis. Then when Osiris was killed by Seth, and cut into 14 pieces, Anubis among with his mother, helped Isis to find all the missing pieces and later to join them together.

Anubis discovered the method of embalming and became known all over Egypt for this new method. He performed the mummification process and took part in the "weighing of the heart" during the judgment of the soul. In this manner, he was a Lord of the Underworld, only usurped by Osiris.

We also come across some facts stating that Anubis was also opening the gates in the underworld to allow Ra to pass through.

Anubis was pictured as a man with the head of a black jackal or as a jackal. But, in some temple he was pictured with a human face. His black colour was the color of rotting flesh and with the black soil of the Nile valley, symbolizing rebirth.
