So texts that go on the pyramids at the end of the old kingdom, 2300 ish.
bce you have gods who are not getting worshipped in the home you're not worshipping osiris at that period in your home okay or anubis they are pretty exclusively associated with death and the transition into the afterlife
Yeah, so he is shown in some scenes, not that many, as what in classical times is called a psychopomp.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
So the psychopomp is the one...
that, yeah, aids in the transition between this world and the afterworlds.
And there was a case with Elizabeth II, actually, where Paddington Bear is the psychopomp.
I've just never heard this word before, which is a psychopomp.
It's a great one for the future use and bamboozlement of students.
I'm sure she knows that word.
But that's a good way of visualising
the concept because do you know what happens in the Roman period so mummification is still practiced in Egypt and Roman times so the first couple of centuries AD CE you get little labels that go on mummified bodies uh huh and you get anubis shown as a jackal uh huh
On a little label?
On a little label.

But in Roman times, he's shown with a key around his neck because the ancient Egyptians didn't have keys, but the Romans did.
Locking key.
So it's this idea that he holds the key that is going to let you into the other world.
And so an early manifestation of Anubis, this jackal god, is called in ancient Egyptian, Wep Wah Wet.
