Son to Nephthys, he was raised by Isis, after his mother abandoned him in the Delta marshes because her husband Set wanted to kill him. He is the god of funerals and embalming. "He was usually depicted as a man with the head of a jackal and alert ears, often wearing a red ribbon, and wielding a flail." "In other myths Anubis led the deceased to the halls of Ma´at where they would be judged. Anubis watched over the whole process and ensured that the weighing of the heart was conducted correctly. He then led the innocent on to a heavenly existence and abandoned the guilty to Ammit."
