=__REFLECTION__= ===Anubis is one God that takes a strong part in the Egyptian society. He brings many beliefs which Ancient Egyptians followed and some still follow now and he was respected with great honour. In honour of the God of the dead people made many offerings in temples and worshiped him for they new that he was the God who could send people to the afterlife and without him, the spirits of the dead would not live on. People new if they lived good lives their heart would be equal to the feather and they would live on in the afterlife.===
