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.

The meaning of the name is uncertain, but it is thought that if not a word for 'sun' it may be a variant of or linked to words meaning 'creative power' and 'creator'. 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

Sobek In Greek, was the deification of crocodiles, as crocodiles were deeply feared in the nation so dependent on the Nile River.

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
