Im a historian, egyptologist, and zoologist. I suspect anubis was never meant to be a representation of a jackal, but rather a breed of dog that was common in the regions at the time. Jackals dont even have those body proportions like in the statues

I know it wasn't really a jackal, but was there a black dog that had those proportions at that time, and what happened to it?

They probably weren't black. Black obsidian is just a sacred color and or common medium for their statues. Like marble in Rome and greece

You sound like an interesting person, and probably have many enjoyable conversations because of your range of knowledge.

You don't have to be a jackass bro

He was probably being sincere but what do I know. If you are that guy I think it's cool you are into history and animals and I'm being serious. Learning how people of the past thought about and understood wildlife is a cool combo.

They look like a hairless Egyptian Wolf imo.
Dogs look much different without any hair, pic related is a Xoloitzcuintli.

Wasn't being sarcastic.
I understand the confusion, I'm fully aware of where I am posting.

>>2400211
That sounds awesome.

I just put that first part so that people would be more likely to believe I had to say if I pretended to have relevant qualifications. I'm also a psychologist.

the reason it's black is because it's supposed to be like a corpse

Xolos are so cool but their genetic situation is a mess.
The homozygous version of the mutation is fatal, there's a chance of them having fur, and their weight range is like 10-50 pounds.

>Homozygous hairless dogs (i.e. with two genes for hairlessness) die before birth and are reabsorbed into the womb.

Graduated from your ass.

There have never been jackles in Egypt. They're African wolves. The mummified animal remains in Lycanopolis, the center of the Anubis/Anpu cult are of African wolves.

A golden jackal looks totally differently then the breed of dog depicted in these statues.
