Statues of Anubis served as the divine gatekeepers of eternity in ancient Egypt. #history #egypt #ancienthistory | Archaeological Wonders

Ever wonder how a giant Anubis statue got to the middle of our parking garage? This 26-foot-tall statue guarded the museum while we hosted King Tut 12 years ago and was moved into our garage a few years later. It now greets visitors as they make their way into the museum and is a reminder of the historic exhibit. Anubis is associated with mummification and the protection of the dead for their journey into the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion. | The Children's Museum of Indianapolis
