Publisher's Synopsis
"Anubis is among the most recognizable gods, and his image has become a symbol of ancient Egypt--but who is he? Portrayed as either a black jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis is Egypt's original Lord of the Dead. Even after that title was eventually transferred to Osiris, Anubis continued to be the most active participant in the after-death process, and this book focuses the spotlight squarely on him and his various facets"--.
