Exhibition: More re Anubis, Upwawet and Other Deities

http://www.dailystaregypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=5924
A short piece about the new exhibition at the Cairo Museum: "The exhibition, Anubis, Upwawet and Other Deities, is based on votive offerings that British archaeologist Gerald Wainwright found in a tomb built around 1800 or 1900 BC near the southern town of Assiut. The tomb originally belonged to a local hereditary prince, but for more than 1,000 years local people used it as a shrine for personal devotion, filling it with tablets dedicated to the local jackal god Upwawet."
