View show details

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Anubis, the jackal-headed god of embalming and the afterlife. They trace his origins from the early Pyramid Texts as Khenti-Amentiu, 'Foremost of the Westerners,' to his central role in the Weighing of the Heart ceremony. The discussion covers his association with the mysterious Imiut fetish, his role in the Osiris myth, and how his cult at Hardai (Cynopolis) and Saqqara shaped funerary practices. They also examine how Anubis's duties were partially absorbed by Osiris during the Middle Kingdom, yet he remained essential as the guide of souls and protector of tombs. Specific artifacts like the Papyrus of Ani and the tomb of Tutankhamun illustrate his enduring presence. The episode corrects the common misconception that Anubis is merely a 'death god,' instead revealing him as a complex figure of transition and rebirth. #Anubis #KhentiAmentiu #Hardai #Cynopolis #Imiut #PyramidTexts #WeighingOfTheHeart #Mummification #Duat #Osiris #Saqqara #PapyrusOfAni #Tutankhamun #AncientEgypt #EgyptianMythology #GodOfTheAfterlife #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
