The Egyptians didn't worship the animals, but the forces of nature that they symbolized. Anubis, God of the Dead, represented with a head of a jackal or simply as a jackal opened the road to the other world and presided over embalming ceremonies. After a funeral, Anubis would take the deceased by the hand and introduce him into the presence of the sovereign judges where the soul of the deceased would be weighed. Anubis was the ceremony by heirs of the deceased and he also guarded the mummy form evil forces in the body was embalmed, a priest wearing a jackal mask acted as Anubis representative. He also was the guardian of the Sacred Esoteric Mysteries. The origin of this god lay in the fact that jackals could be heard howling in the desert to the west of the Nile at sunset-at the time when burials took place.
