Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Anubis functioned as divine embalmer, and the priests who supervised the mummification of the dead would wear masks of Anubis to stand in for the god. This divine impersonation extended to the funeral for the dead, where Anubis (in the form of a disguised priest) would present the mummy for essential ceremonies.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the Ancient Egyptian gods were represented by a mixture of human and animal form. Often, this was an animal head on a human body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The purpose of mummification was to keep the body intact so it could be transported to a spiritual afterlife.
