Anubis is Greek for the Egyptian word Anpu meaning "to decay,".
(Ancient)
When Egyptian corpses decayed in Desert, Jackals came to dig them.
Egyptians made Anubis the Patron Deity of Jackals to protect them from Jackals, hence face of a Black Jackal on Anubis...
2/8
Anubis has a Black Jackal face. Black has 2 symbolisms in Egypt.1. The decay of the Body.
2. The Fertile soil of the Nile River Valley, Nile River would flood (die) & be rebirthed by being a fertile land.
Same concept, but Humans would die & be rebirthed by Anubis.
3/8
That Rebirth in 3/8 was Judged by a SCALE.
"The human
was balanced on the
against Ma'at's feather of truth"(Egyptian)- If
> Feather, the soul or Ka of person would be destroyed.
- If
> Heart, person passed through Duat, into Afterlife!
4/8
Anubis was Protector too.
He Protected Gods & tombs of Deceased, didn't let harm come to them, punished those who did harm.
When Set went to kill Osiris disguised as a Leopard, Anubis caught him, branded him w/ hot iron
Fun fact: This is how Leopards got spots.
5/8
Protector & Judge, when Anubis judges the soul (ka) of person, He would help preserve it if
weighs more on feather side.
This brings us to Mummification, Anubis invented it.
When ur a mummy, ur body is Preserved through time, meaning Ka preserves w/ help of Anubis6/8
To insure a body is preserved, Priests of Anubis do the mummification process, which is a process you can learn in #AssassinsCreed
Origins: Discovery Tour.
These priests who wear the Jackal hats impersonate Anubis to represent Anubis passing them from Duat-->Afterlife.7/8

Fact: Almost all confessions feature a Feather to take blood. I wonder if the feather that started in AC 1 is linked to Anubis & scale?
#ACFacts: Bayek sees a scale
before battling Apep
,symbology of weighing his Soul, where he has to fight to get it back.
