BEHOLD ANUBIS


BEHOLD ANUBIS


Anubis was charged to safeguard and watch over the cemeteries and was the son of the solar god Re.(later re-named as Ra) Later he was connected to the vast Osiris cult and conciered as his son with the goddess Nephtys.(See the Myth of Osiris). Depicted as a jackal or a man with a jackal`s head, he was originally a god from Abydos in Upper Egypt. He guided the deceased to the next life via the court of Osiris in the Underworld. He was the god of embalming and was the subject of the mortuary prayers in funerals. His fame was constantly on top during all periods of the long Egyptian history







Legends of Creation
Ancient Egypt had different stories telling about how the world and all its inhabitants once came to be. The legends varied from province to province along the Nile, but after the unification a handful of them grew more popular and others were forgotten. The priesthood in the cult centres of the creator-gods supported their own version and thus we meet gods like Atum, Re, Ptah, Khnum and Kheper performing the act as The Great Maker, but in different ways. There are no Deluge-legends involved in any of the creation stories of the Nile-people, probably because they had their own big flood every year and the beginning of everything couldn't possibly involve a banality like that. The most common, and probably one of the oldest stories, said that at the dawn of time there was nothing but the water called Nun, and the first ground coming out of the water was symbolized by fetish called the "Ben-Ben stone". From a slightly irregular shape in time it turned into a broad and short obelisk with a pointed top in a four-side pyramid fashion. Some scholars suggest that this might be the prototype for later pyramids tombs, but others do not. On the Ben-Ben stone stood Atum and he coughed and spat out Shu and Tefnut.




The World Creators in Short:


ATUM from Heliopolis made everything (even himself) of his own sperm through masturbating or spitting. He then created woman from a bit of flesh from his hand. PTAH from Heliopolis in Lower Egypt made the world by simply saying words and made earth raise from the water, very similar the story in the Bible. RE (also from Heliopolis) is told in a rather late poetic legend to be the creator by using a tear from his eye to build all the world. KHNUM from the island of Elefantine in Aswan in the south, was the creator who made the world and all its people on his potter's wheel. The stuff was mud from the Nile. KHEPER (representing Re) made all other gods from matter taken from his own body. He also created life (symbolically) every morning by commanding the sun to rise. AMON from Thebes was during the New Kingdom vaguely connected to the creation of the World, saying that he once (like Atum) had created himself at the dawn of time. THOTH was in Khemenu (Hermopolis) in Upper Egypt, the maker of the world and the first ones he helped to life were four frogs and four snakes, the so called Ogdoad.





Creation of Man.

A very old legend in Egypt told that mankind was divided into four types when they were made on the potter's wheel by the great creator Khnum. He made them all out of mud of various colors from the Nile. The order in which they were made was as follows: First was - Romut, meaning "men", and these were the Egyptians themselves. The second to come from the potter's wheel was - Ãamu, the people from the desert mountains east of the Nile. This name was later also used for Asians in general. Number three, called - Temehu, was the fair skinned people from the Mediterranean coast west of the Nile Delta and the oases west of the Nile Valley. The last to be made was - Nehesy, the black people to the south of Egypt, below the province of Nubia. Notable is that the names of these people seem to be very old and originating from the early times when the Egyptians didn't have a name for Asians, which they surely encountered well before the first dynasty as shown in archaeology remains. According to another (much younger) legend mankind was created from a tear that fell from the eye of the god Re, and turned into men and women. The fair-skinned Libyans, considered as "cousins" by the people in the Nile valley, were formed in the same way. The two other people have a tear from Re as their origin too, but in a more irregular way.






Prayer of Pharaoh Maatkare Hatshepsut on her Jubilee

I have done this from a loving heart for my Father Amun; I have entered into his scheme for this first jubilee; I was wise by his excellent Spirit, and I forgot nothing of that which he exacted. My Majesty knoweth that he is Divine. I did it under his command; it was he who led me. I conceived no works without his doing; it was he who gave me directions. I slept not because of his temple; I erred not from that which he commanded. My heart was wise before my Father; I entered into the affairs of his heart. I turned not my back on the City of the All-Lord, but turned to it the face. I know that Karnak is God's dwelling upon earth; the August Ascent of the Beginning; The Scared Eye of the All-Lord; the place of his heart; Which wears his beauty, and encompasses those who follow him.

GODS OF ANCIENT EGYPT

Ra Thoth Sobek Set Selkhet


Ptah Osiris Nephthys Neith Maat


Khnum Isis Horus Hathor Anubis

During the height of the Egyptian civilization, these were the most prominent of the Ancient Deities that were worshipped at the time before the conversion of worshipping one God was established. Some beleive that this act was the catalyst that led to the beginning of the end of the Egyptian Dynasty


The Court in the Underworld
When a person died they were taken to the Underworld where his deeds in life were taken to the Court of Osiris for the final judgement. Since this place also was called "The Island of Fire" it's quite obvious that the Egyptians had knowledge about the burning interior of the Earth though they had no volcanoes in their own country. Before coming there the dead person had to pass a labyrinth of gates and doors and answer questions correctly to pass through. The lion-god Aker let him through the last gate and he was facing the fourteen members of the jury in the Tribunal Hall. There he was allowed to speak about his behaviour on Earth. (Shown in the upper left in the picture below). Then god Anubis took him into the courtroom presenting him the scale where his heart would be put in balance with the feather of the goddess Máat, patroness of truth and harmony. The procedure was recorded by Thoth - the god of writing and wisdom. Sometimes Thot's animal (a baboon) was sitting on top of the scale ready to adjust the result using a sliding weight.





The deceased enters from the left guided by Anubis. His heart is placed on the scale and the result is recorded by Thoth. Then Horus takes him in front of the judge Osiris for the final verdict. Behind the throne stand Isis and Nephtys

Preparation for Eternity

Anubis whose charge was to safe guard the cemetaries, also took care of the more important mummifications such as Pharoahs. Without a physical body the soul had no place to dwell and became restless forever. Poor people could only afford small clay figurines as a substitute for an embalmment.
