Tne Egiptians Boole of Anubis Prayers Tor Tne Deceased

Anubis is the Greek rendering or the Tama-Retje "Egiptian*'word Anupu or Anup, meaning "Opener of the roads for the dead; the guide of the afterlife". The word Anubis is a cognate or the ibis and comes from the word Hannabeach meaning "The Awakencr or The Etarker". The Aramic Hebrew

name Enoch has the same derivation and means "The Seer or Initiate"; the awakener is such, 'One is Conscience', therefore,

Anubis or the state or Conscience, is alwaus present at the Judgment time and in the Hereafter.

Anubis is depicted as the Neb "Master" of the silent land Amun-Re, who is the guide to the west road. Atum-Re, is raised in associating with the Usa "etje of Re - "Ra", as the guide to the dead. He watches the balance in the Judgment Hall of Asaru,

CJsir "Osiris". Atum-Re is also depicted as the deity of the rituals of the tomb, who presides over embalming rituals. And receives mantj pleas of mortuary prayers recited on behalf of the deceased Tama-Retjeaat "Egiptians". In The Pyramid Texts, Anubis was described as a son of Re and given a daughter, a Goddess of Preshness. In time he lost both of the attributes and became part of the Osirian Cultic Tradition. As a child, Anubis, the son of Nepthys, and Asaru, Usir "Osiris", was abandoned bq his mother and raised bu his stepmother Aset, Auset "Isis", until he became of age. Anubis

then accompanied Asaru and aided Aset, when Sutulch "Set" slew Asaru and dismembered his corpse. This is when Anubis invented the Mortuary Rites, talcing in the 'Kite of the "Neb" Master of the Mummu Wrappings'. Anubis henceforth ushered in the deceased to Asaru's Judgment Halls, and remained popular in all periods or Tama-Reye "Egiptian" history, even in the time when the foreigners dominated Tama-Re. Anubis' symbol is the blaclc jaclcal-headed dog, with a buf.hu tail or a man with the head of a jackal or dog. The blaclc jackal dog has always been a symbol associated with Tama-Re "Egipt*, however, there is no such species as a black jackal; refer to A.ELO. Magazine vol. 1 edition 5 Jan. ZOOO issue; The Jackal Dog, And The Reason Why You Wear Eilack At Funerals' The real reason why the black jackal is depicted as black can on[y be revealed to those members of The Ancient Egiptian Order. Have you ever heard your grandmother say, "Listen to those
r do: s howling in the night. Somebody must have died'. This is - ^ J <T7 J/

The search dog, or the jackal, is symbolic in aiding Aset Auset "Isi's", in finding the M- boc/yparts of Asaru, Usir "Osiris"1 body, from that point on, the jackal, which in fact is not black by natural color became synonymous with the mascot that guides you through death of the realm of eternal darkness, the state of deity. For in all religious beliefs, Cod, Y.H.W.H., Allah, Thehos were in darkness when he said, "Let there be light1'in the old testament, Genesis 1:5; so the Aunal"natural"aocx^e. is Darkness. In fact, light is synonymous with temporarily existing. The light is the light in man as mentioned in the old testament, Genesis 2:/, when it speaks about the 5a "soul", which is called K.bahee, in aramic hebrew, meaning "alive, life, living thing". This light is the central sun of the solar plexus found in CJnnuaat "human beings"; and when that lesser light goes out, one is declared Mawut "dead". Light is the light of the world that you are in, chaos; and darkness is that world that one returns to, supreme balancement.

because the canine "dog" has a keen sense of smell. He is the retriever, thus he howls the sound HUWA before death visits. Not only does the dog sees and hears in this physical world, but he also has senses of the spiritual world as well. Did it ever ponder you why a dog is chosen to lead a blind man? Think about it. The blind man is in darkness, and the dog is chosen to lead him and becomes the blind man's eyes. The canine "dog" is chosen to lead the blind man because he hears the sounds that the human ear can't hear, thus he protects the human being agninst on coming dangers beyond his senses.

In ancient Egipt, death was not look upon as the time for mourning but as a natural cycle of life which is unlike some civilizations of the west. The western society has not confirmed existence after death, thus they are scared to make that transition. On the other hand, the Egiptians firmly acknowledge in an afterlife or reincarnation of cells which led them to build great monuments as tombs for their deceased ones. At death, the Neter Anub/s, symbolic of the jackal, serves as the messenger between the heavens and hell, and is called the Neter of the

Dead, the conscience which awakens us to our personal responsibility and approves that which we do right knowingly and disapproves that which we do wrong. The deity Anubis also weighed the heart of the deceased against the feather of Maat "justice", which determined if the 5a "soul" of the deceased woula continue its journey to the Mendjet "the baric of Re", symbolic of Nibiru, talcing them to the underworld; or become a prey for Ammit, the serpent, also known as Apophis. To the western society this concept would be considered heaven or hell, again showing that theu stole their heaven and hell concept from the Cgiptians. Ceremonies were performed over the deceased, or magical spells were recited, enabling the Tama-reyeaat to invoke protection to help the deceased on their journey to the after life. The Tama-Reyeaat jackal headed mask symbolic of Anubis. This book entitled, "The Egiptian 5ook Of Anubis, Prayers Tor The Deceased" is a book of vignettes somewhat like the ones that you could find on the walls and tomb of the coffins, which the Ancient Egiptians placed with their dead in order to help them pass through the dangers of the underworld and attain an afterlife of the Egiptian An "heaven".

The inscriptions that are actually written on the inside and outside of the coffin would further ensure the safety of the E>a "soul" of the deceased. Some of the Pyramid text uttered hymns and addressed it to various deities, while other hymns were related to the Aun-Ra "opening of the mouth ceremony", which was performed on the mummy and the tomb statues during the funeral rites, with the offering ritual which was carried out after the burial. The Aun-Ra "opening of the mouth" ceremony was to restore to the deceased the use of his or her senses bringing him or her to life; resurrection. The A'aferti "Pharaoh" would perform this ceremony wearing the
