En contra de lo que a menudo se cree, el dios chacal Anubis del antiguo Egipto no era un dios oscuro; era de hecho el guia de los muertos hacia el otro mundo.
Era hijo de Osiris, el rey del inframundo, y Neftis, la esposa de su hermano Set (al parecer, por accidente, porque Neftis andaba disfrazada de Isis, que era la esposa de Osiris, y este no se detuvo a preguntar...)

Despite what is often believed, the jackal god Anubis of ancient Egypt was not a dark god; he was the guide of the deceased to the afterlife. He was the son of Osiris, king of the underworld, and Neftis, the wife of his brother Seth (it seems that it was an accident; Neftis was disguised as Isis, who was Osiris' wife, and he didn´t stop to ask...)
