Anubis, Egyptian jackal god

Anubis/Anpu/Inpu Anpu (or Inpu) (which meant "to decay") is the Egyptian god of mummification, funerary rites, guardian of tombs, and guide to the afterlife as well as the patron god of lost souls and the helpless. He is one of the oldest gods of Egypt.

He was known as "First of the Westerners" prior to the rise of Osiris in the Middle Kingdom (2040-1782 BCE) which meant he was king of the dead.
