摘要虽然动物崇拜是古埃及宗教的一个广泛认可的特征，但人们对与动物神神庙相关的地下墓穴和木乃伊的性质知之甚少。在这里，作者介绍了埃及北塞加拉的阿努比斯地下墓穴的传记，从他们在晚期的高峰活动到他们在现代的原材料开采。这项研究强调了迄今为止未被重视的与动物崇拜有关的埋葬做法的规模，以及它们所支持和支持的行业。证据表明，动物崇拜在古埃及和随后的时代都发挥了重要的经济作用。
Abstract Although animal cults are a widely recognised feature of religion in ancient Egypt, little is known about the nature of the catacombs and mummies associated with the temples dedicated to animal gods. Here the authors present a biography of the Catacombs of Anubis at North Saqqara in Egypt, from their peak activity in the Late Period to their exploitation in modern times for raw materials. This research highlights the hitherto unappreciated scale of burial practices associated with animal cults, and the industries they supported and were supported by. The evidence suggests that the animal cults played a significant economic role, both in ancient Egypt and in subsequent eras.
