Egyptian Mythology

By Lauren Ayube

Egyptian mythology is the collection of myths from ancient Egypt which describe the actions of gods and goddesses as a way to understand the world around them. The ancient Egyptians believed that life, nature, and society were determined by the gods and goddesses, and when they left the Earth, pharaohs inherited the right to rule.

  • Anubis was the god of mummification and the afterlife. He acted as a guide to the recently deceased in the underworld.
  • The God Thoth takes notes on the weighing of the deceased's heart. If it is heavy with sin and outweighs a feather, it will be consumed by "the devourer" - a beast that was part lion, part hippo and part crocodile.
  • Once the deceased passed judgement, he was presented to the Lord of the Underworld, Osiris. This presentation was done by Osiris's son Horus.
