Bunubis

Bunubis, Assistant Judge of the Underworld (evenings and weekends).

A recently unearthed papyrus from Ancient Egypt has revealed that Anubis Lord of the Underworld had an assistant, Bunubis.
This previously unknown god was charged with the important task of judging the hearts of the dead against a carrot. If the dead soul had been kind to rabbits in life, then their ka would go to the heaven of petting rabbits (a great honour).
However, if the soul had been unkind to rabbits then Bunubis would condemn their ka to an eternity of wallowing in burning rabbit pee.

PS. The hieroglyphs are real: they are an excerpt from Beatrix Potter's 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit' translated into Egyptian (not by me!).
