Anubis

the feather of Maat? Am unsure but I found the following - http://www.zahihawass.com/valley_of_the_mummies.htm "In these scenes we see the god Osiris on his throne while Anubis weighs the heart of the dead against the feather of Maat" -

Anubis has been representative of many different items, but all of them are involved with death. He was originally the putrefaction god. The he became a god of protection against robbers stealing from the dead. Some embalmers have looked to him as their patron god, too.

Hel is the ruler of Helheim, the realm of the dead of Norse myth. She is usually described as a horrible hag, half alive and half dead, with a gloomy and grim expression. Her face and body are those of a living woman, but her thighs and legs are those of a corpse, mottled and moldering.

Hades is the lord of the dead and ruler of the nether world, which is referred to as the domain of Hades or, by transference, as Hades alone. Of all the gods, Hades is the one who is liked the least and even the gods themselves have an aversion of him. People avoided speaking his name lest they attracted his unwanted attention. He has no physical imperfections in myth.

Drawings of the hieroglyphics show upper arm bands and a neck collar. Here is a link to a photo of the Anubis statue. http://www.mandarava.com/Retail/egyptian_anubis_gifts.htm

Anubis' most distinguishing symbol was his head. He had the head of a jackal. In Ancient Egypt the Egyptians viewed the Jackal as a very strong symbol of death. The ideal was rooted in the jackals who hunted on the outskirts of the cemetery grounds in Egypt at the time.

Anubis is usually depicted with an Ankh in one hand and a flail in the other. His head is usually black. During funeral rituals he is seen as measuring the heart up until the Middle Kingdom periods when Osiris began to take over this duty.

can someone tell me why anubis has a black head

The people who wrapped the mummies might try extra hard to impress him and people might buy better mummy wrappings to a) impress Anubis and b) to try and make sure that the deceased had a better afterlife.

Horus is sometimes said to be his brother or half brother.

Apep

Seth (to a point)

Egypt, as Anubis was a Egyptian deity.

I hope this link will help you find out more about the "mask of Anubis" from the TV show "House of Anubis".

A jackal is the animal Anubis is most often depicted as in ancient Egyptian art; this is because that animal likely hung about the graveyards. It's coloring was black for both the dead, and the color was one of resurrection (like the Nile soil would be after a flood).

Anubis existed and continues to exist as a non-material form, and manifests as a particular kind of energy, knowledge or guidance, with characteristics in common with Mercury, Papa Legba, and other similar beings, without being identical, or even closely like, any of them.

It is not Anubis on the canopic jar; but a jackal headed son of Horus (one of four) named Duamutefhe protected the stomach and was in turn protected by the goddess Neith.

not that long considering the diseases in Egypt.

The heart of a dead body was weighed on a scale. On one side of the scale there was a feather and on the opposite side, a heart. If the heart was heavier than the feather, it meant that the dead body's soul would not make it to afterlife and the person's soul and body would be vulnerable to the demons of the underworld. If the heart was lighter than the feather it meant that this person had done good deeds in his life and he would enter afterlife and live in paradise for eternity.

Hope that helped! I'm studying this at the moment! :)

Anubis is a god of the dead and weighs the soul of the individual against the feather of Ma'at; Anubis feeds the soul to Ammit if that test is not passed. This results in the total annihilation of the person, and there is no hope of further existence.

A man with the head of a jackal-like animal. Unlike a real jackal, Anubis' head is black, representing his position as a god of the dead. He is rarely shown fully-human, but he is depicted so in the Temple of Abydos of Rameses II. There is a beautiful statue of him as a full jackal in the tomb of Tutankhamun.

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.
