A Simplified Historical Overview Of God Anubis And Canopic jars
God Anubis in Ancient Egyptian also known as Inpu, Inpw, Jnpw, or Anpu in Ancient Egyptian is the god of funerary rites, protector of graves, and guide to the underworld, in ancient Egyptian religion, usually depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head. Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumed different roles in various contexts. Depicted as a protector of graves as early as the First Dynasty (3100 – 2890 BC), Anubis was also an embalmer. By the Middle Kingdom ( 2055–1650 BC) he was replaced by Osiris in his role as lord of the underworld. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife. He attended the weighing scale during the "Weighing of the Heart", in which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead. Anubis is one of the most frequently depicted and mentioned gods in the Egyptian pantheon, however, no relevant myth involved him. Anubis was depicted in black, a color that symbolized regeneration, life, the soil of the Nile River, and the discoloration of the corpse after embalming. Anubis is associated with his brother Wepwawet, another Egyptian god portrayed with a dog's head or in canine form, but with grey or white fur.
Canopic jars
Canopic jars are vessels that were used by the ancient Egyptians during the mummification process, to store and preserve the entrails of their owner for the afterlife. They were usually either carved from limestone, or made of pottery. The ancient Egyptians used these jars from the time of the Old Kingdom until the late or Ptolemaic period, at which time the viscera were simply rolled up and placed with the body. The viscera were not kept in a single canopic jar: each jar was reserved for specific organs. The term Canopy reflects the erroneous association among early Egyptologists with the Greek myth of Canopus - the captain of Menelaus' boat on his voyage to Troy - "who was buried at Canopus in the Delta where he was worshiped in the form of an urn." In alternative versions, the name derives from the site of Canopus (present-day Abu Qir) In the western Nile Delta near Alexandria, where human-headed jars were worshiped as an embodiment of the god Osiris.The canopic jars of the Old Kingdom were rarely inscribed and had a simple lid.In the Middle Kingdom, inscriptions became more common, and the lids were often in the shape of human heads By the Nineteenth Dynasty, each of the four lids depicted one of the four sons of Horus as guardians of the organs.There are 4 canopic vessels, each of which depicts one of the four sons of Horus, as guardians of the organs inside the vessels.The canopic vessels take the form of the four sons of Horus (Hapi).
