Anubis is the Egyptian God of the Dead. He resides over the mummification process. He also performs the opening of the mouth ceremony. This ceremony allows the dead to speak on their behalf when they meet Osiris in the underworld. Anubis will usher each person over the river to Osiris' throne. Osiris will then look into the book of life and weight the persons heart. The heavier the heart the more bad things the person did. The lighter the heart the more good things a person did.

Anubis is the Greek name for the ancient jackal-headed god of the dead in Egyptian mythology whose hieroglyphic is more accurately spelt Anpu (also Anup, Anupu, Wip, Ienpw, Inepu, Yinepu, or Inpw). He is also known as Sekhem Em Pet. Prayers to Anubis have been found carved on the most ancient tombs in Egypt; indeed, the Unas text (line 70) associates him with the Eye of Horus. Anubis is the ruler of the underworld.
