Anubis states, "I have come to protect Osiris."
Evidence suggests that, in one part of Egypt at least, Anubis was the great god of the Underworld, and his rank and importance seem to have been as
great as those of Osiris.
Anubis [ANPU] signifies the Summer Solstice which in the time of Akhenaten would have been June 24th, St. John's/Freemasonry Day - Mid-Summer or the
Egyptian New Year's Day, the 1st of Thoth, is signaled by the rise of Sirius. Anubis, although cynocephalus, does not represent the Dog Star but, is
protectorate of its goddess, Isis.
"Typhon [Set], the evil one, could do no harm to the realm of Osiris. When Osiris came again, Typhonplotted with seventy-two comrades, and with Aso,
the queen of Ethiopia, to slay him; and secretly got the measure of the body of Osiris, and made ready a fair chest, which was brought into his
banqueting hall when Osiris was present together with other guests. By a ruse Osiris was induced to lie down in the chest, which was immediately
closed by Typhon and his fellow conspirators, who conveyed it to the Tanaitic mouth of the Nile.
The first to know were the Pans and Satyrs, who dwelt hard by Panopolis: and finally the news was brought to Isis at Coptos, whereupon she cut off a
lock of hair and put on mourning apparel. She then set out in deep grief to find her husband's body, and in the course of her wanderings she
discovered that Osiris had been united with her sister Nephthys, and that Anubis was the offspring of the union. Isis tracked him by the help of dogs,
and bred him up to be her guard and attendant. The Book of the Dead
The mysteries of Osiris in 2nd century Rome were described as such:
“Immediately after those came the deities, condescending to walk upon human feet, the foremost among them rearing terrifically on high his dog’s
head and neck—that messenger between heaven and hell displaying alternately a face black as night, and golden as the day; in his left the caduceus,
in his right waving aloft the green palm branch. His steps were closely followed by a cow [Sopdet (Sirius in Egyptian)], raised into an upright
posture—the cow being the fruitful emblem of the Universal Parent, the goddess herself, which one of the happy train carried with majestic steps,
supported on his shoulders. By another was borne the coffin containing the sacred things, and closely concealing the deep secrets of the holy
religion.”
From the Golden Ass of Apuleius (Book ix)
Mummification was practiced to preserve a corpse so that life could continue after death and this was the domain of the mortuary god, Anubis
Anubis "Lord of the mummy wrappings" presided over mummification and funeral rites. Since the Egyptians regarded the afterlife as a continuation of
their earthly existence, the correct preservation of the corpse was vital. Accompanying the body were detailed incantations, designed to be a guide to
the underworld, or a scarab beetle bearing a spell to keep the dead from confessing their sins before Anubis. Anubis first performed in this function
when Osiris was killed by Set.
Anubis' next appearance will be at the Denver International Airport
