Anubis
Anubis
( or ; ) is the
Greek
name of a god associated with
mummification
and the afterlife in
ancient Egyptian religion
, usually depicted as a
canine
or a man with a
canine head
. Archeologists identified the sacred animal of Anubis as an Egyptian
canid
, that at the time was called the
golden jackal
, but recent
genetic testing
has caused the Egyptian animals to be reclassified as the
African golden wolf
.
