Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of death and mummification, takes the reader on a personal tour of the "Dark Lands"—the Egyptian afterworld. While touring, Anubis explains ancient Egyptian death practices and escorts the reader onto Ra's "Night Boat," where they must battle the evil demon of destruction, Apophis, so that Ra can be reborn in the morning as the sun disk. Based on Egyptology research—particularly the Book of the Dead, The Book of Apophis, the Book of Caverns and others—ANUBIS SPEAKS gives middle-grade readers a fun yet factual look at ancient Egyptian beliefs, rituals and practices.
