Karima Lachtane's "The Secret of Anubis: The Winter Triangle" is a treatise that
investigates how the ancient Egyptians viewed the heavens.
At the age of twenty-seven, the author worked as a tour leader between Luxor
and Aswan in Egypt. Always interested in astrology, she studied it in Denmark
and continued with her fascination with ancient cultures. This work examines
the winter hexagon, also referred to as the winter triangle, and how the
constellations Canis Major and Canis Minor that form it may have a direct link to
the god Anubis in ancient Egyptian religion. Evidence in the Dendara Temple
implies that this connection, which was popularized by the Greeks, is an ancient
one.
When the Greeks moved into Egypt, they did not destroy the temples of the
Egyptians. On the Contrary, Alexander the Great respected the science and arts
of the Egyptians. Even in the middle ages, astronomy and astrology was built on
the symbolism and observations of the Egyptians, one of the greatest
civilizations in history.
This work contains an in-depth discussion of the gods and goddesses in ancient
Egyptian religion, and how their presence was used by Egyptians to explain the
world around them, including the stars in the heavens. Monks and later
scientists used the compilation of Egyptian understanding of the heavens to
demonstrate how astronomy can be viewed.

This fascinating work is exhaustively researched, and notes at the end of "The
Secret of Anubis: The Winter Triangle" offer further elucidation of this complex
topic. Karima Lachtane's considerable knowledge of the subject is evident
throughout, and she uses a clear style to present her hypothesis. Anyone who has
marveled at the mysteries of the stars or has an interest in ancient Egyptian
religion should find this work engrossing.
The book "The Secret of Anubis: The Winter Triangle" shows the passion and talent
of the author. The book sheds some interesting light on the subject of
astronomy/astrology in Ancient Egypt. There is a lack of good writing available
today on this subject, and Karima's work is a necessary step in this process of
enlightening the world in this area.

Synopsis
There have been thousands of books made about the
mysteries of ancient Egypt, but none like this book
called ‘the secret of Anubis’. From the beginning it
gives you a clear idea of how complex the
ancient really were, and how even the word in itself
carried a deeper meaning than ever thought of
before. The subtitle alludes to the connections between
‘the above’ and ‘the below’, Sirius is known as an
important Star to the ancients, but the reasons for its
impotency seems to always be connected to the Nile,
and here people tend to end the story.
Never have there been a book going into such details about the four protectors of the
coffins, Who were called Duamuted, and Qebhsennuf, and Hapi, and Mestha.
But did you know that this group of protectors are actually a group of seven divine be-
ings? There are three more which are never mentioned, but now the secret of Anubis
brings light to these protectors, and present a much deeper
picture of the ancient Egyptian culture.
Now karima has turned a key among the ancients and in this
book she gives you her research about these themes’ which
should shine some new light upon a lot of subjects.
I would personally state that everything in this book is new, or rather the thought
process behind the book is a new angle, which I personally believe is both needed
and will indeed be appreciated. Karima does not try to disprove other peoples
opinions, she merely adds another angel which was last presented in 1884 by Sir
Norman Lockyer in the book called ‘The dawn of Astronomy’, which is a book she
really adores.
Many authors have tried to connect the Pyramids to Orion’s belt, Karima believes
that these authors went right by the real mysteries of ancient Egypt. Neglecting to
see what was right under our noses, and this has made people able to make all sorts
of theories, but apparently missing a basis of proof to just make them plausible.
Karima has collected all sorts of proof of something much deeper. The different
subjects included in this exciting book are not few, and yet they offer their own deep
connection.
Different manuscripts of the ‘book of the dead’ -scenes are analyzed and compared,
furthermore she visually links the stars to the tomb chamber itself.
In this book we start out by looking deeper to Anubis’ character. And reveal his
heavenly brother known as ’Duamutef’ one of the Seven divine beings. This is the
introduction into their perception of the stars, giving each a name a divinity, and a
character that portrayed that given entity. So is Duamutef a protective star, that was
very important. You will find him portrayed in the tombs and upon the temples. Most
notable is the lack of information explaining these beings or why they are important.

The most common information people know about the Egyptian skies, is that the star
Sirius was of great importance to them, because when it raised the Nile floods would
begin, making it the mistress of Sirius. The Egyptians called Sirius “Septit/Sopdet”,
at the time of Alexandria the great Ptolemaic probably changed this (instead of
interpreting it wrong) 4, because the Greeks later called this star “Sothis”.
Another clue which give away this idea that the Greek/Romans changed things, is in
the visual image of ‘the great dog’, where in ancient Egypt this star constellation was
shown as a cow (the heavenly cow probably).

Sopdet /Sothis was referred to as, “the bringer of the new year and the Nile flood”. In the
ancient times she was Sah’s (page 55) wife.
What the funny part about her name is, that it is not really mentioned in the Book of the
Dead. But Sirius is mentioned in the Pyramid texts, which again are older than the Book of
the Dead.
But let us take a closer look, at the pyramid texts;
Utterance 265 – 573 from the Pyramid texts;
Line 357a
The sister of N. (probably the deceased’s name) is Sothis; the mother of N. is the morning
star
Line 357b
N. is that (star) which is with Ré (Ra) on the under (side) of the
body of the sky.
Line 341c
His sister is Sothis; His mother is in DwTt (Morning star)
Line 458a
To say: Heaven is serene (?); Sothis lives, for it is N. who lives
the son of Sothis.
Line 449b
Sothis caused N. to fly to heaven among his brothers the gods.
Line 632c
That thy seed may go into her, (while) it is pointed like Sothis.
Line 632d
Horus the pointed has come forth from thee as Horus who was in Sothis.
Line 723a
Thou shalt tiptoe heaven like s (the toe-star): Thy soul shall be pointed like Sothis (the
pointed star)

Line 822a
Your third is Sothis of the pure places.
Line 822b
She is your leader (or, who will lead you) by the beautiful
ways in heaven.
Line 965a
It is Sothis, thy daughter, who loves thee,
Line 965b
Who secures thy livelihood (or, makes thy yearly
offerings), in this her name of “Year”.
Line 1123b
His sister is Sothis; his guide is the morning star;
After reading these lines from the Pyramid texts, one can again conclude that Sothis (Sirius,
Septit Sopdet) was somehow among the stars. She appears to have been seen as a guider
among the stars, to the place of the pure. And she is also named “Years” as the Pyramid
texts states, which suddenly…..
