The ENTIRE Story of Anubis - Mummification God Explained | History Podcast

Who is Anubis? Where was he worshipped? Why was Anubis with a jackal head? What are his origins? Anubis - The Chief of Westerners. The most famous images of “the one who is in charge of the divine booth” depict Anubis with scales or leaning over the mummified dead. What was his role in the Judgment of Osiris? Why was this particular god so important during the ancient Egyptian funeral rituals? If you want to know the answers to all the above, let’s go with me on a journey, but this time, through ancient Egyptian history. We will learn more about the cult of Anubis and how it has been changing over the millennia as this particular god was worshiped by the ancient Egyptians for almost three thousand years (!). We will get to know more about mummification, animal cults, and, naturally, about the ancient Egyptian beliefs. We will go into the distant past to predynastic times when, although Egypt was not yet unified, the cult of the jackal deity was common among pastoral peoples. Due to the fact this time it is a calm podcast, I recommend listening to it to sleep as a bedtime story for grown-ups. :) Patreon -   / ancientsitesgirl   #Anubis #Anubismask #ancienthistory #egyptiangods #ancienthistorypodcast #ancienthistorytosleep #sleep podcast #ancientegypt
