I am Anubis as you are Anubis as we are Anubis and we are all together...

So, Duamutef, Wepwawet, Anubis and Anput...but who's the second-to-right one?
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
It goes Duamutef, Wepwawet, Anubis, Sed and Hathor holding an Anubis mask.
👍: 2 ⏩: 1
I thought that was Anput, not Hathor
Also weren't Wepwawet and Sed the same god?

there is one that is easier to know it's not Anubis. The female version of him XD

and the guy says "look, I get paid by the hour, so its cool if Anubis wants to take his time getting over here to sign for this package."
seriously, this is fantastic work, and a sobering reminder of what I'd forgotten: just how many jackal-headed neteru there were.

Clearly the delivery man and dangerous dog trope has been around for longer than we knew!

Weird, random question but any of the gods are currently dating or in a romantic relationship? Besides Isis and Osiris? Do you also secretly ship some of them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Set and Nephthys are married
Anubis and Anput are married
Ptah is married to both Bastet and Sekhmet
Thoth is married to Maat
Geb and Nut are married
Shu and Tefnut are married
Hathor and Horus are married
Bes and Tawaret are married
Sobek is married to Renenutet

I see you have Anput! YAY! Anubis and Wepwawet, but I don't know the other two.
I think Sed is associated with the jackal. Argh! I should know this!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You’ve actually come quite close. From Left to Right, Duamutef, Wepwawet, Anubis, Sed (who may or may not be an earlier incarnation of Wepwawet). You of course also have Hathor, not sure why she is there, she might just be standing in for Anput.

I've never heard of Sed before. Do you have a link where I can find out more information?

I always forget Duamutef! Drat! Drat! Drat!
Urgh! She tripped me up! I was wondering about the extra headdress. Should have put two and two together! XD

I see there's a woman. Did Egyptians consider women equal to men?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Maybe not exactly equal, but as worthy as men, yes. They didn't expect women to go to war or be stone masons or whatever, but they were valued as equally important members of society. Women could own land, or property, could learn and do as they chose (within the law, and reason, of course) and pregnant women were considered to be very important, the fact they were carrying a child made them closer to the powers of creation and the Gods. A pregnant woman could even be asked for her blessing, similar to the (relatively) modern idea of shaking a chimney sweeps hand for good luck.

more then other anciant high cultures did, less then we do today I would say.
Exaples: there are only about 5 we know about (Hatshepsut & Kleopatra beeing the most famos ones, Nitokris , Nefrusobek and Tausret other ones)
It was possible for woman for example to learn how to read and write but mostly the son was chosen over her. But the goddes Isis was one of the most popular gods that existed back then. Her cult even was worshiped in rome. Also they could be heirs, pass on things to others and decide without a (male) guardian, on the other hand it was rare to find a woman in the higher hirarchy.

I hope that's not Hathor, else Anupet will have been ignored.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i think the same, poor Anupet or Anput

aWS! It must be the Royal Mail (Meal???) I think if the postman wears royal nemes -- headgear...

Haha love it! It's an ancient game of where's Waldo, I found Anubis

Okay I know who two these are...who the hell are all the others?

The other Gods just wearing jackal masks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh okay, I was getting concerned and wondering just how many jackal-headed gods there were.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's only one Jackal Headed God which is Anubis. Wepwawet is actually a wolf or dog deity but not that of a jackal. Egyptians just made all dogs and jackals look alike but with different colors to distinguish them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I knew that part about the wolf/dog, it was just confusion over where the others came from.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think only Hathor is wearing a mask. You pointed out Anubis and Wepwawet and one of them has to be Duamutef. But the last one ? Mhhh...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh dear, so this might be complicated after all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup.
Plus the Egyptians also had Am-Heh, a vicious dog headed underworld god who also had the tag of 'the devourer of millions' ... nice guy. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
somebody had to do the job. paid well, if I recall.

Sounds like quite a charming fellow.

right now the postman's thinking "fuck my life" XD
