Open mouth cermony
A ritual called the 'Opening of the Mouth' is performed, allowing the deceased to eat and drink again.
Prior to the funeral, during the period of embalming, the body was considered an empty shell. To re-animate the corpse and restore its senses, a ritual ceremony called "the opening of the mouth" was performed. During the ceremony a priest dressed in leopard skin offered incense, while several different implements were held to the orifices of the head to restore the senses. Once revived, the deceased could partake of offerings, which could be physically present or magically provided. Finally, the body and its coffins are placed inside a large stone sarcophagus in the tomb. Furniture, clothing, valuable objects, food and drink are arranged in the tomb for the deceased.
死神阿奴畢斯 (Anubis)
死神阿奴畢斯 (Anubis) 必作狐狼狀，或有狐狼頭。是木乃伊和陵墓的保護神，信仰起源於胡狼崇拜，經常以胡狼頭人身甚至整頭胡狼出現在陵墓壁畫和陪葬品上。
他是Seth(或Osiris)與奈芙提斯(Nephthy)之子，木乃伊的創造者，首先將Osiris的屍體木乃伊化。從此Anubis開始主持葬禮，主司木乃伊之製作。
他也是墓地之守護神，看守著通往地下世界的門戶，主持開口儀式，並引導死者的靈魂渡過危險到審判的地方，同時監督審判。
