Mythology - Anubis is the Greek name for the ancient jackal-headed god of the dead in Egyptian mythology whose hieroglyphic is more accurately spelled Anpu. The Egyptians would have noticed the jackals prowling around the graveyards, so the link between the animal and the dead was formed in their minds. Anubis was painted black to further link him with the deceased - a body that has been embalmed became a pitch black color. Black was also the color of fertility, and thus linked to death and rebirth in the afterlife. Anubis was also seen as the deity of embalming, as well as a god of the dead. To the Egyptians, Anubis was the protector of embalming and guardian of both the mummy and the necropolis. Parents to Anubis is Nephthys and Seth or Osiris.
Anubis - Once a powerful Goa'uld System Lord, Anubis was banished by the others because of his actions were deemed unspeakable, even among the Goa'uld. He was believed destoryed, but managed to escape and learn the secrets of ascension.
