In Egyptian mythology, Anubis’s daughter who aided the dead was Kebechet.
Kebechet was an ancient Egyptian goddess associated with purification and refreshment for the deceased. Egyptian religious tradition describes her as a daughter of Anubis, the god closely connected with embalming, cemeteries, and funerary protection. Her role complemented Anubis’s work by helping prepare the dead for existence beyond the grave.
Kebechet was often imagined as a serpent, although she was not a dangerous monster in this context. Instead, she brought water or a similar purifying blessing to the dead. This imagery connected cleansing with rebirth and with the renewal expected in the afterlife.
Kebechet is sometimes confused with better-known goddesses such as Nephthys or Isis, who also had important funerary roles. However, Kebechet is specifically identified in Egyptian mythology as Anubis’s daughter and as a figure of purification. Her name is also written Qebhet or Kebehwet in different transliteration systems.
