as Khepri, or a desert jackal to represent Anubis, the embalmer
god? Ancient Egyptian religion, with its many gods and symbols, 40

Western man. In this compact guide to the gods and symbols of ancient
Egypt-their interpretation, their signifhicance and their cults -many puzzling

guide. A detailed index to the illustrations and extended captions complete this
essential work of reference.
