Anubis (Egyptian: Inpu; also Anpu) is the ancient Egyptian god of deadrites and mummification. In the context of the Osiris myth, the origin of his name is reported: As crown prince (Inpu), who is in his bandages (imiut), Nephthys hid him (for Isis). This is how his name Anubis came about. As an epithet (epithet) Anubis bears the name Imiut. In this respect, Anubis is also the manifestation of Horus and Osiris in equation.
