The Egyptian gods and goddesses were mostly, at least partly anthropomorphic -- human shaped, deities who behaved like humans and walked among mortals. Gods were not worshiped in the same way throughout Egypt or throughout time. Particular locations and pharaohs favored one set of gods over another. Here is a list of some of the major gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt and their primary functions.
ANUBIS
Anubis was a funerary god. His task came to be holding the scales on which the heart was weighed. If the heart was lighter than a feather, the dead would be led by Anubis to Osiris. If heavier, the soul would be destroyed.
Anubis is referred to as the child of Nephthys and Set or Osiris.
