Yes the jackal headed god is a very ancient god of embalming and the dead.His job was to weigh the heart of a dead person against a feather and if the person had done bad deeds throughout the time they lived thier heart would be heavier than the feather if so the soul would be fed to crocodiles.

Interesting to know that the God of mummification has a jackal head.
Great find and beautifully captured, Aivar.....V
