I find it interesting that all the movies about Egypt depict Anubis as the bad guy, but he’s technically not a bad guy at all. He’s just the guardian of the underworld

People who've played Smite: "Oh hey, I know a lot of these gods"

I always had a fascination with Anubis growing up. The way it was described to me was that he was like the fairy man into the Afterlife. He would make sure that the soul was safe that way so that they could get to judgment. Basically came off as very friendly and very helpful as well as very protective, and making sure that the afterlife process from mummification to the journey to judgments would go smoothly. So even to this day I find him one of my favorite ancient Egyptian gods.

Thank you for covering so many of the lesser known Gods and going into more depth beyond the formula "God/Goddess of x" for all of the Deities on this list.

You know, i remember once hearing a story about a guy named Caleb Weaver who claimed that when he was a kid, he was tormented and demonically possessed by the Egyptian deity Sobek there was an episode of A Haunting about it, and the fact that was possessed by an Egyptian god just proves that all the gods and goddesses in mythology do exist.
