What was the Egyptian god of the underworld?

Answer 1

Previous answer: "Hades he rules the Underworld if anyone is the Greek God of Darkness it is him."

My answer: I actually think its Erebus, or Erebos to others. Throughout the Greek tales, he has been referred to as Hades and Tartarus, though all 3 are different gods. He is the personification of shadow and darkness itself. He is also the son of Chaos. His sister is Nyx, goddess of night, who is also his wife.

Answer 2

Anubis is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion. In the ancient Egyptian language, Anubis is known as Inpu, (variously spelled Anup, Anpu, and Ienpw). According to the Akkadian transcription in the Amarna letters, Anubis' name was vocalized as Anapa. The oldest known mention of Anubis is in the Old Kingdom pyramid texts, where he is associated with the burial of the Pharaoh.At this time, Anubis was the most important god of the Dead but he was replaced during the Middle Kingdom by Osiris.

Answer 3

It depends on who you ask. Many texts cite Pluto as the Roman equivalent to Hades, but in truth, Pluto is just a Latinized version of the Greek name Plouton, the real name of the god we think of as Hades.

Plouton had two aspects: he was lord of the underworld and it's vast riches, and he was also Lord of the Dead. In his role of the ruler of the underworld, his Roman counterpart is Dis Pater(rich father) or usually just Dis. The Roman name for the underworld was Orcus, so in his role as lord of the dead, Dis was also called Orcus, much the same way Plouton was called Hades, which was actually the name of the underworld itself.
