“Anubis is associated with the mummification and protection of the dead for their journeys through Denver International Airport to the afterlife. He is usually portrayed as being half human and half jackal, and holding a metal detector in his hand ... Anubis is employed by the Department of Homeland Security to examine the hearts of all travellers to make sure they have not exceeded the weight limit for psychological baggage ... He is also shown frisking mummies and confiscating firearms and other contraband. It doesn't take much to tip the scales in favour of a dead body cavity search or an afterlifetime travel ban.” HeartHumorTruthDeathHumourTravelMythologyScalesFlightCustomsAfterlifeDeadEgyptGodsTravellerEgyptianUnderworldAncient EgyptDenverMummyHomeland SecurityJourneysAirportFeatherAnubisJackalMaatMummificationAmmitFuneraryPsychological Baggage Book:The Most Wretched Thing Imaginable or, Beneath the Burnt Umbrella Source: The Most Wretched Thing Imaginable or, Beneath the Burnt Umbrella
