Anubis is a son of Ra in early myths, but later he became known as son of Set and Nephthys, and he helped Isis mummify Osiris.

Usually, Anubis is portrayed as the son of Nephthys and Set, Osiris ' brother and the god of the desert and darkness.

During his final school years he began writing his poetry in notebooks, the first poem dated 27 April ( 1930 ), is entitled " Osiris, come to Isis ".

Osiris (;, also Usiris ; the Egyptian language name is variously transliterated Asar, Asari, Aser, Ausar, Ausir, Wesir, Usir, Usire or Ausare ) was an Egyptian god, usually identified as the god of the afterlife, the underworld and the dead.

Osiris is first attested in the middle of the Fifth dynasty of Egypt, although it is likely that he was worshipped much earlier ; the term Khenti-Amentiu dates to at least the first dynasty, also as a pharaonic title.

Most information we have on the myths of Osiris is derived from allusions contained in the Pyramid Texts at the end of the Fifth Dynasty, later New Kingdom source documents such as the Shabaka Stone and the Contending of Horus and Seth, and much later, in narrative style from the writings of Greek authors including Plutarch and Diodorus Siculus.

The crook is thought to represent Osiris as a shepherd god.

Osiris is the mythological father of the god Horus, whose conception is described in the Osiris myth, a central myth in ancient Egyptian belief.

This aspect of Osiris was referred to as Banebdjedet, which is grammatically feminine ( also spelt " Banebded " or " Banebdjed "), literally " the ba of the lord of the djed, which roughly means The soul of the lord of the pillar of stability.

As Banebdjed, Osiris was given epithets such as Lord of the Sky and Life of the ( sun god ) Ra, since Ra, when he had become identified with Atum, was considered Osiris ' ancestor, from whom his regal authority is inherited.

In contrast he argues that the ancient story of dying and rising in the divine, human and crops, ( with Osiris as an example ), is vindicated and reaches a conclusion in Christianity.

* The Third Day, Osiris is Mourned and the Enemies of the Land are Destroyed.

* The Fifth Day, Osiris is Reborn: Osiris is reborn at dawn and crowned with the crown of Ma ' at.

A statue of Osiris is brought to the temple.

The Nile, supplying water, and Osiris ( strongly connected to the vegetation ) who died only to be resurrected, represented continuity and stability.

If they led a life in conformance with the precepts of the goddess Ma ' at, who represented truth and right living, the person was welcomed into the kingdom of Osiris.

Occasionally she is represented as a kite flying above the body of Osiris or with the dead Osiris across her lap as she worked her magic to bring him back to life.

She was represented as a daughter of Nut and Geb, and sister to Osiris, Nephthys, and Set.

When searching for or mourning Osiris, the two goddesses are often likened to falcons or kites, possibly because kites travel far in search of carrion, because the Egyptians associated their plaintive calls with mourning, or because of the goddesses ' connection with Horus, who is often represented as a falcon.

Later Egyptians interpreted the myth of the conflict between Set and Osiris / Horus as an analogy for the struggle between the desert ( represented by Set ) and the fertilizing floods of the Nile ( Osiris / Horus ).

As sister of Isis and especially Osiris, Nephthys is a protective goddess who symbolizes the death experience, just as Isis represented the ( re -) birth experience.

The Apis bull is unique as he is the only Egyptian deity represented solely as an animal, and never as a human with an animal's head — perhaps, because from the earliest of Egyptian religious practices, they were animals sacrificed to the cow goddess and represented the resurrected, renewal of life ( Hapy and later Osiris ).

As he now represented Osiris, when the Apis bull reached the age of twenty-eight, the age when Osiris was said to have been killed by Set, symbolic of the lunar month, and the new moon, the bull was put to death with a great sacrificial ceremony.

The Osiris myth is the most elaborate and influential story in ancient Egyptian mythology.

Through these writings, the Osiris myth persisted after knowledge of most ancient Egyptian beliefs was lost, and it is still well known today.

The most complete ancient Egyptian account of the myth is the Great Hymn to Osiris, an inscription from the Eighteenth Dynasty ( c. 1550 – 1292 BC ) that gives the general outline of the entire story but includes little detail.

As the Osiris myth first appears in the Pyramid Texts, most of its essential features must have taken shape sometime before the texts were written.

Osiris thus became Egypt's most important afterlife deity.

From the union of Geb and Nut came, among others, the most popular of Egyptian goddesses, Isis, the mother of Horus, whose story is central to that of her brother-husband, the resurrection god Osiris.

In most cases, Nephthys found her typical place as part of a triad alongside Osiris and Isis, or Isis and Horus, or Isis and Min, or as part of a quartet of deities.

The most prominent of such deities was Osiris, god of vegetation and of the netherworld, who was incorporated into the Ennead as Atum's great-grandson.

Celebrated as it was at that time of the year when the soil and climate were most suitable for agriculture, the festival and its ceremonies can be seen as an appeal to Osiris, who was the God of vegetation, to favor the growth of the seeds sown, paralleling his own resurrection and renewal after his murder by Seth.
