@tiraofegypt: What is the Egyptian god Anubis doing in Pompeii? 🤯 This remarkable fresco from Pompeii shows a priest wearing the mask of Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of mummification and the dead. It once decorated the Temple of Isis, revealing just how far Egyptian religion spread beyond the Nile Valley. By the time Pompeii was destroyed in 79 AD, the cult of Isis had gained followers throughout the Roman Empire, bringing Egyptian gods like Anubis to Italy. Ancient Egypt's influence reached far beyond its borders, shaping religious life across the Mediterranean world. #AncientEgypt #Pompeii #Anubis #Egyptology #AncientHistory #RomanEmpire #History #HistoryFacts #Archaeology #AncientRome #Isis #TempleOfIsis #AncientCivilizations #HistoricalFacts #AncientWorld #NationalArchaeologicalMuseum #EgyptianGods #DidYouKnow #HistoryShorts #
