There's a towering statute of Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of mummification and the afterlife, in a small plaza at Seattle's King Street Station. Some may ask why there's an installation of such a deity at a railway station. My answer to them is, why shouldn't there be such a deity at a railway station? Answer that! The question that you should be asking is this - what kind of ancient magic made possible blue skies over Seattle?
