Anubis was the ancient Egyptian god of mummification, and the dead on their path through the underworld.
Anubis IS a God of Ancient Egypt, with jackal like features. The religion itself is not dead. Refer to the Pyramids and how they align with the stars in the sky (Yes go take a look). The queen aligns with Sirius and the King, Osiris (Orions belt). A 3 mile long Pyramid has been found on planet Sirius. Anubis helps with the afterlife and it is not mythology. The hieroglyphics still tell the answers and people are still ignoring them. Ancient Egyptians painted what they SAW and what they believed in. Refer to Kemet.
