"Anubis, easily recognizable as an anthropomorphized jackal or dog,
was the Egyptian god of the afterlife and mummification. He helped
judge souls after their death and guided lost souls into the afterlife.
So, was he evil? No, and in fact just the opposite. In ancient Egyptian
mythology the ultimate evil was chaos. Nearly all of Egyptian mythology
was focused around maintaining the cycles of cosmic order that kept
chaos at bay. Few things were as significant in this goal as the rituals
maintaining the cycle of life, death, and afterlife. Therefore, Anubis was
not evil but rather one of the most important gods who kept evil out of Egypt."
