==Worship==
Although he does not appear in many myths, he was extremely popular with Egyptians and those of other cultures.<ref name=":1" /> The [[Greeks]] linked him to their god Hermes, the god who guided the dead to the afterlife. The pairing was later known as [[Hermanubis]]. Anubis was heavily worshipped because, despite modern beliefs, he gave the people hope. People marveled in the guarantee that their body would be respected at death, their soul would be protected and justly judged.<ref name=":1" />

Anubis had male priests who sported wood masks with the god's likeness when performing rituals.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> His cult center was at [[Cynopolis]] in [[Upper Egypt]] but memorials were built everywhere and he was universally revered in every part of the nation.<ref name=":1" />
