What kind of god was Anubis?
It must be noted that according to some myths, Anubis was the child of Osiris. According to the myth, Nephthys turned into Isis and seduced Osiris and later became pregnant with Anubis.

Anubis discovered the method of embalming and became known all over Egypt for this new method. He performed the mummification process and took part in the "weighing of the heart" during the judgment of the soul. In this manner, he was a Lord of the Underworld, only usurped by Osiris. We also come across some facts stating that Anubis was also opening the gates in the underworld to allow Ra to pass through.
