Kebechet is a daughter of
Anubis. In the
Pyramid Texts, Kebechet is referred to as a
serpent who "refreshes and purifies" the
pharaoh. Kebechet was thought to give water to the spirits of the dead while they waited for the
mummification process to be complete. She was probably related to mummification where she would fortify the body against corruption, so it would stay fresh for reanimation by the
deceased's ka. ==References==
