Anubis may be known generally as an Ancient Egyptian god, but what he was a god of specifically is a little more obscure. I.e., what 'trait' of Anubis led the developers to choose that name?

I would have thought of something 'defensive', like a shield; to use a Greek example:

Grades 1-5 is a little hyperbolic, IIRC my "World Religions" class was probably middle/junior-high school.

In any case, it's not the type of lifetime common-knowledge which warrants your scornful response.

I mean I know about the heart weighing thing but I'm pretty sure I didn't learn it in school.
