Jackal-headed Anubis, a divine protector of the dead, is typically found in burial chambers. This Egyptian god guided souls to the afterlife by overseeing the embalming process. Anubis also performed the judgment of the dead by weighing the deceased's heart to learn whether the sum of his deeds had been for good or ill.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark, an enormous Anubis statue adorns the fictional Well of Souls in Tanis, Egypt, the sacred room where the Ark of the Covenant lies hidden.
