Tutankhamen in the form of the dog Anubis during the course of his transformations. Tukankhamen, by Christiane Desroches Noblecourt, page 252. Anubis, is the Greek name for the ancient god of the underworld in Egyptian mythology, who guided and protected the spirits of the dead. The hieroglyphic is more accurately spelt Anpu (also Anup, Anupu, Wip, Ienpw, Inepu, Yinepu, or Inpw). Prayers to Anubis have been found carved on the most ancient tombs in Egypt. Anubis was painted black to further link him with the deceased - a body that has been embalmed became a pitch black colour. Black was also the colour of fertility, and thus linked to death and rebirth in the afterlife.
