| Description |
English: Almost all Egyptian gods and goddesses could take the form of an animal. Osiris, the god of the dead, never developed animal associations. That is because he symbolizes the idea of the mummified pharaoh. To the ancient Egyptians, Osiris was the first mummy in history and every person whose body was mummified was following in the steps of Osiris.
According to the Egyptian myths, Osiris was a divine pharaoh who was murdered by his jealous brother Seth. Osiris’ body had to be mummified by his wife, Isis, and the jackal-god Anubis. Thanks to his successful mummification, Osiris was able to be reborn, not in this life, but as the pharaoh of the netherworld. The desire to enter the realm of Osiris after death was one of the prevailing beliefs of Egyptian religion and as a result Osiris was one of the great gods venerated throughout Egyptian history [penn.museum] |
