This book by Salima Ikram is my favorite general introduction to death, burial, and afterlife beliefs and practices. It is a great introduction to a variety of topics related to the afterlife, and has particularly good sections on afterlife beliefs (including Osiris) and mummification. I like it so much that I use it as the main text in one of my courses:

If you’re looking for an introduction to the wider subject of ancient Egyptian religion, this book by Teeter is one I love to use when teaching ancient Egyptian religion. It covers many aspects of ancient Egyptian belief and ritual and devotes an entire chapter to death and afterlife beliefs and rituals:

I like Anubis. Compassionate chill dude, kept one wife, had one kid, they worked together in a family business. Kept it real, nice role model.
Why was Anubis replaced with Osiris?
Seshat was also a pretty Kick-Ass goddess.
@@aumauler6674 anubis respect Osiris look up to Osiris as a father
@@aumauler6674 anubis also hate seth his father.
And his father disown them him and his mother for helping isis and Osiris
What Isis and her sister did for Osiris was pretty incredible !
Yes!
I agree with voices of ancient Egypt
Yeah it's like he was resurrected. I wonder if the story of the resurrection of jesus came from this 🤔
@@blizzack2792 of course
They did.
thats why they will never find proof of white jesus
That was me!
thank you for the wonderful videos
This has been really helpful! I am currently making a presentation about some of the Egyptian gods and goddesses! This has been really helpful with my presentation!
Where can we chat to know more about Osiris
Osiris! My favourite character in the Osiris myth is probably Set. I like Egyptian gods that are multifaceted and complex, with capricious natures, like Set, Sobek and Sekhmet.
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Love to know about Osiris and all the history linked with it.
Fantastic - thank you 🙏🏽
His sister's really must have loved their brother!!!😊
Indeed!
Indeed.
I appreciated your review of the myth of Osiris, it is very helpful. However, I feel it understates one of the most critical aspects of the belief - the idea of a promised land. Osiris is the ruler of Egypt during the golden age of the gods (before man ascendancy to self rule). During his rule Egypt is a paradise (in a sense a garden of Eden). Seth’s betrayal is akin to Adam and Eve being tossed out of paradise, and death becomes an aspect of life.
A critical fixture of the story is the Nile river itself. Three times Osiris is forced to travel down the river after the betrayal and murder, first as a corpse in a box, then as parts that wash up on the banks, and finally as a restored corpse that gives Isis the means to create new life in the form of Horace, the eventual victor over Seth. Osiris represents life, Seth is death. In a sense the death of Osiris may be an explanation of the desertification of Egypt. Essentially man being kicked out of the garden of Eden.
The Nile is the womb from which life flows, but this only happens after Osiris’ body is flung into the river and some of its parts wash up on the shores thereby imbuing it with life creating and sustaining properties. It is why Horace is born there, it is literally the womb of Egypt, a force Seth could not conquer. Its no accident that when Isis collected the remains of Osiris from the kingdom with the tree that she hid his body along the shore of the Nile. And why Seth scattered his body throughout Egypt not just putting it all in the river. Later, in Jewish tradition, Moses is placed in the river to save him from death, and he is saved by the pharoe's daughter, later still Jesus is baptized with the Holy Spirit in a river and is in a sense reborn. Coincidence?
The third time Isis gathered his remains and attempted to re-animate Osiris, it was due to the incomplete form of his corpse that she was unable to reanimate him to rule in life, but she was able to restore him to the point that he was able to become the ruler of the underworld and death. And to use the same corpse to create her son Horace. Thus a promise is born to the people of the Nile, that Osiris will breathe life back into them, after death, in the underworld which is a world of goodness.
Thank you 💖
Decent top level explanation. the story is also an analogy for the monthly cycles of the moon which waxes and waynes throughout the sky for two periods of 14 days (which is the amount of pieces osiris was cut into), disappears for 3 days (dies) and then returns to view in the night sky (resurrection). Some may recognize this pattern of resurrection 3 days after death from more modern stories whose origins can be traced back to ancient africa nearly 7000 years ago. History is so cool!
what would be the purpose of CERN having Osiris' head in a jar - to recreate him to be their God?
The biblical gospels are treated as very early, reliable eye witness accounts by nearly all modern scholars, including atheist and agnostic scholars. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life.
3 days. Isn't that also a pause around Christmas before the nigbt sky behaves differently?
@@matteuslucas4223 Yet you have never actually read the Gospels for yourself, you only know of the Gospels what you have been told.
You use the name jesus as if this name ever existed prior to the 15th century. It's this type of distortion that causes people to follow fairy-tale translations of the Gospels.
No doubt most will never attempt to learn how to read the Gospels in their native language, because people don't actually believe in the Gospels, they believe in the stories told to them about the Gospels.
So no, jesus is not the way or truth, because the name is only 600 years old. The original name has an actual semetic meaning, and the meaning explains exactly what the reality is.
@@MikesterCurtis The story is a parable of death, separation and resurrection in nature. Moon cycle, sun cycle and zodiac cycle, all are mirrors of how the energy within humans operates according to natural order.
The Egyptians did not worship these images. They were the best way of explaining the complexity of the natural scientific reality, and still is the best way of explaining things like quantum physics.
bRoooo Osiris is my name and when we learned about osiris in my history class, everyone looked at me----
Wow. That's cool.
Osiris is a sick name 🔥
Cool name 👍🏻
Cool name 👍🏻
@@bridgettemari4 when something is awesome in the North East they call it "wicked" and where I live we say it's "clutch."
Osiris, I am watching many of your CZcams videos .
I am slowly learning .
Amazing
I adopted a child, She loves Egypt and Everything about it. She even loves the god Osiris. He is very important to Egyptians. And I JUST REALIZED THAT? I need to learn more about this..
When -- in our modern calendar -- was the birth date of Horus, the avenging son of Osiris? And on what day of the year was Osiris resurrected by Isis?
June 14 when Serpentis opposes Orion on the summer Soltice
Well, it was the spring soltice back then
I have a little shrine dedicated to Osiris in which i keep my statue and leave offerings. Also i do some festivals like the Feast of the Valley which you mentioned and the Osiris feast. Your work here is greatly appreciated! ;)
I am drawn to Isis, maybe because of the magical powers to bring others back to life. Looking out for others has been my life.
Congrats you got a like🙂🙃👍
Pretty cool stuff, thanks. So whats up with the animal heads? Can you make a video explaining that?
So, we're referring to what most call Gods. They are actually called Ntr/Neter/Netcher, Ntrw/Neteru/Netcheru, (Plural). They are more like natures of God rather than actual Gods themselves. They are principles. Understand the animals and you understand the principles they are trying to convey. For instance, in the bible it says that God made man in his image. So, with the exception of Ammut, (Possibly some others I'm not aware of) most if not all other Ntrw have human bodies. Thus, the principles, ideas and qualities being conveyed by the Ntrw are similar to what men and women possess. As for the animal heads, understand the animal being used and you should get an idea of some of the more special qualities that each Ntr possess. Take Djehuty aka Thoth, (Greek) for instance. He has a human body with the head of and Ibis bird. The Ibis uses it's long beak to to search the shore or beach sand for food. This leaves markings in the sand which resemble writing. Therefore Djehuty is known as the God of writing. Djehuty is also known as the God of magic, spells and wisdom. When we write words, we spell them and give power and meaning to them such as casting, "Magic Spells." You may have had a language teacher along the way that made this analogy as well. The beak of the Ibis resembles a writing utensil as well as a sort of magic wand. Another quality of the Ibis is having the knowledge and ability to use it's beak with the aid of water, to give itself an enema when it is constipated. This show's that the Ibis has the wisdom to keep itself healthy and clean. As you can see, some of the qualities of the Ibis make it the perfect animal to convey the principles and ides of the meaning of Djehuty or Thoth. With all that being said, I do not believe that we were ever to believe that the images of the Ntrw were to represent beings that ever walked the earth. They are images used to convey principles and ideas about the natures of God in relation to man/woman.
Go Ahead, Mr. Joestar

I like both Auset and Ausar
Good choices!

There is the deeper layer to this story; it's symbolizing the journey our soul takes through the Universe. As we leave the Upper dimensions to incarnate into the physical dimensions, we "divide" and become the Tripart soul (Plato) or such. We have to come down into the Underworld to learn and practice, and figure out how to follow the higher mind/soul. This learning what aspects to follow rejoins our soul and prepares us to rise back up the dimensions, as we become A MATCH for the next "step on the ladder" (Jacob.s Ladder - Kabbalah). Each step is more challenging and refines divinity inside us, the choices we learn to make so that we "sow" or carry out more "Heavenly" principles on the next layer. We are IN the Underworld now, and must become Become the King here by ascending our mind, disciplining it, removing it from "The Matrix" (Hermetic). Isis represents out Over-soul, guide, or higher mind. It's "her" we have to listen to, "she" ascends us, or "hacks" back over to Neo who is the lower mind or mere "computer mind" for physical survival.

By hardships we mature. The Bible says refined like gold.
I want to know about Horus and Horus eye. I am not sure if the ancient of Egypt has made the video. Thanks :)
I never heard of Nephthys but have known and read about the others
My grandfather who initiated me into druidry dubbed me 'Nimrod' after the Bablylonian monarch who was a 'mighty hunter in the eyes of the lord according to the Biblical book of Isiah. He was reputed to have been one of the Nephilim, the mythical faery giants. I often use that name magickally as well as Osiris, lord of the underworld and the fae folk..
Hey, what does the Ba and the bird by it mean?
Some of this is accurate !
You introduced your video TWICE.
I believe Osiris , i will pray for him Osiris and my favorite Horus and Anubis Power. The Best Ancient Egyptian Mythology for Africa.
I don't know why I dreamed someone named Osiris and he has an echoing voice in my dreams as if it is ominius while we are talking. I don't even know that Osiris was an egyptian god until I found out after searching for his name in google
Thinking of naming our baby Osiris is what brought me to this video lol. Anyone has any suggestions on middle names?
Djed
Ptah, definitely 🙂
Horus of course!He is my favorite.
Yes...
didnt Hurus lost his eye in the fight with seth and took it back after he won and gave it to Osiris so he could have his vision back?
Seth is NOT Osiris's brothers actual name, its SET but I appreciated the video
Osiris!!
yea!!!!
Well the story of osiris was first....😇
Osiris as I wish to be Mark Osiris when my time comes.. please share the the fuller story as it explains the the coffins and the whole death culture that ends/maybe continues past Cleopatra VIIII Don't forget me,
I've worn an Osiris necklace for decades :)
Hey, is it real story? Any referance? Let us show this one. Please.
I’m watching this for school
These videos male me want to quit my 9-5 job and go back to eduction and learn ancient history.
What an amazing comment! Thank you for sharing that with me.
I like Osiris, he is my favorite.

What about the eye of horus!?
Yama was the first mortal to die and he became the God of Death. Yami (his twin sister) wanted to "marry" him but Yama rejected the offer and "chastised" her
I have a black cat named Osiris. My other black cat is named Bast.
In Islam we know this person. Allah told us about him in details and as normal any person with a strange miracle will be worshiped by people after his death and maybe while he is alive. His name is Osire or Uzair and Osiris is coming from Greece as they known to add the litters ( I and S ) after many names just like Adonis and Alexis which are Adon and Alex. The story was told in Quran as follows: Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can God revive this after its demise?” Thereupon God caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that God has power over all things.”. In Islam we believe that Uzair is a prophet and his revival was after a while of prophet Solomon death. He knew everything about the holy book at the time Torah and he was sent to Children of Israel to make sure they follow the correct God orders after they lost their faith. Sorry for the long comment I just wanted to make sure people know the correct story of Osiris as we believe.
Jameel 95 supernatural nonsense
Very interesting!
Osiris is an Egyptian deity. He is not included in the abrahamic religions. Islam makes no mention of him. Islam is monotheistic.
Uzair is the Arabic name of Ezra, who is a prophet in Judaism and Islam. You’re getting Ezra and Osiris mixed up. One is a human scribe and priest, the other is an Egyptian god.

Can someone please tell me how long Osiris died for before being ressurecected by Isis. PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Four siblings? Wasn't Horus the elder part of this group?if not how to explain the addition of 5 days by Thoth?
The fifth day is Horus’ birthday.

What does beating brows mean ?
It means hitting themselves on the brow/forehead area.
Voices of Ancient Egypt and why did they do that ?
Maybe they just felt like doing it, it's drama, don't overthink it.
Osiris!
Shouldn't we call him Asar? That's what the natives called him, correct? The name Osiris did not exist until the Greeks showed up. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
That's a great question, Lionel. You are correct that "Osiris" is the Greek rendering of the god's Egyptian name. In Egyptian, his name is spelled 3sir. The first character is an aleph, which was probably a glottal stop in Egyptian - like the sound we make in the middle of saying "uh oh" by clenching our throat to stop the sound from coming out. Also the "i" is actually a light "y" sound. All of this is because ancient Egyptian writing doesn't have vowels. Our modern convention would be to render 3sir as "asir" and pronounce it ah-seere in English, but that's just so we can say such things aloud. We don't know the exact way it was pronounced in Egyptian.
Lionel Joseph have actually been spelled Wesir
Oh, I'm also a little hurt I don't see one on me here :) ... Khepri ... Then dig into what happens when the rare joining of Khepri-Thoth takes place in any give time-space...

Completely different gods.
You have forgotten to mention he got a son with his sister Nepthys. The halfbrother of Horus.
alright but what on earth is Set supposed to be, an aardvark or something
Set is supposed to represent an unknowable creature, he looks most like an egyptian fish, but there's no actual confirmation of what animal he might be.

You said Osiris had a King? Who was his King? 🤔
Osiris.
My student Arnav says that Osiris is the hero!
Original names of The Ancient Egyptians goes as so Ausar (Osiris) Auset (Isis)

Seth is actually a very cool Character, alright. :) ;)
No no he isn't 👎
I got my bro in a box 🎵
Osiris comes to Seth's party and he shuffled Osiris into a box then isis found her and she went to find help then Seth found Osiris in a bush where Isis kept him then Seth found him and dismembered Osiris and flung Osiris's body part over Egypt and that's the story. you forgot a lot of information and I'm only in 4'th grade you need more research there is a lot of information still to be discovered.
I read the "Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead" years ago and it has stayed with me even to this day. The soul goes through as many tests in the after-life as it does during mortal life. Whose heart is lighter than a feather? This is one reason why I think the heart is left in the body and not put into a Conoptic Vessel. The persons ❤ contains the memories, intelligence, virtues, and vices. I would not want to go through the same ritual every night/day.

Anubis
is it just me that this god has some kind of connection to Jesus aswel ?? or is this the secret to immortality itself because I’m finding it really interesting with this form of death he has and the death of Jesus aswel can it be possible??? or am I overreacting ???
No it's completely possible in theism and as A god in deity form.... Helpful and valuable spiritually..... Theologically, Jesus is going to be seen behind the scenes in any Story of religion, as a student and master of it, as a God Himself, and as a guide and helper or LORD on Earth.

I like Ra, Anubis and Amen
Osiris, yes I'm born under, osiris 🌠
How do you know this?
my god osiris
Osiri
Why Anubis and ra and others omg did Osiris death
Osiris was later personified as God in christianity as he is father God, lord and ruler of the kingdom of heaven and through his only beforgotten son he takes you to heaven of his father, well thats if you pass the neke hall of judgement where your heart is weight against maat
And if you tell the Church this info they go mad and say Christianity is not a Pagan religion.
How does this parallel with the Judeo - Christian narrative?
ive come to a deep underanding that im osiris reincarnated. my last name (crozier) means the crook and flail ( the things osiris is holding in his hands) with means king and fertility. ive also done alot of research on his personality ect and it resonates deeply with my personality.
I like the main character Osiris
On one hand Osiris is Nimrod first king after the flood Isis is Semiramis. In Babylonian mystery religion he represents doctrine of mystery religion. After confusion of the languages every tribe was speaking another language and they ware unable to understand each other so they departed in 14 directions. Body of Osiers / doctrine of mysteries was no longer unified. Isis symbolic of initials in the cult of mysteries managed to collect stories of original religion for the most part. it is double simbalagy on one hand story of to living people on other story of a broken up religion that was reassembled trough secret societies by original initials.
