Anubis.From Egyptian Monuments. The Jackal-Headed Anubis.Gnostic Gem. (From Walsh.) up with his left hand the heart. The reinsertion of the heart byAnubis, after it has been found to have the right weight whenweighed in the balance of Truth, is an important condition for therestoration of life. Isis, the wife of Osiris, and Nephthys, the wifeof Seth, stand on either side. Further down we see the hawk-headedHorus, the son of Osiris and Isis, the avenger of his fathers death,and the Ibis-headed Toth, the scribe of the gods, who assists inthe act of weighing the heart in the Judgment Hall.

Text Appearing After Image:
70 THE OPEN COURT the soul in the shape of a hawk-headed bird visits the mummy,which awakens from the slumber of death and is seen to sit upright. The belief in Anubis as the saviour from death everlasting be-came so common in the Roman empire that coins were struckwhich show on their obverse Serapis, and on their reverse Anubisholding in one hand a sistrum, in the other the staff of Hermes,used by this leader of souls for guiding the shades of the deaddown to Hades. There are several gods who were identified by the early Chris-tians with Christ. Anubis is one of them. Others are Osiris thegod who suffered death, Hor the Child, the Greek Harpocrates,and Toth, the scribe of the gods, the incarnation of the word.The syncretism of the age at the beginning of the Christian erawas such that for all we know the conception of any one of thesedeities might have been, and in a certain way all of them actuallywere, at times fused with the Christian idea of a saviour. Mr. Kings
