2. Anubis Anubis is the Greek name for a jackal- headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology. The oldest known mention of Anubis is in the Old Kingdom pyramid texts, where he is associated with the burial of the Pharaoh. At this time, Anubis was the most important god of the Dead but he was replaced during the Middle Kingdom by Osiris. Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumes different roles in various contexts, and no public procession in Egypt would be conducted without an Anubis to march at the head. Anubis' wife is a goddess called Anput, his female aspect, and their daughter is the goddess Kebechet. Anubis's parents are: ra (early myth),nephthys and Osiris or Set.

To the Egyptians, the sun represented light, warmth, and growth. This made the sun god very important as the sun was seen as the ruler of all that he created. The sun disk was either seen as the body or eye of Ra. Ra’s parents is ocean nun Ra in hieroglyphics

The god Sobek, which was depicted as a crocodile or a man with the head of a crocodile was a powerful and frightening deity; in some Egyptian creation myths, it was Sobek who first came out of the waters of chaos to create the world. As a creator god, he was occasionally linked with the sun god Ra. Sobek’s name in hieroglyphics
