How did you make that? You've got to post a youtube video showing how you create those things! He might have to kill you if he gives you his secret. |

Plus, if that's an ibis, it's Thoth, the best Egyptian god to be, innit??

I will then. Osiris is the god of thing that comes before education, before rule, before, basically, everything: Osiris is the god of Harvest, grain and all other edible plants that are grown by hands of man. Not the god of crop farming, but the crops themselfes. That's why his face is green, by the way. So he is the god that every year is killed by his own follwers and followers are grateful for this. So no Osiris (the very concept of farmable food), no life in Egypt. Full stop. But that's just the beginnig of his role. As you can hopefully remember, there was no money in Egypt. Not not enough money, but no social institute of money. But there was one universal commodity that never lost its demand. It was food, mostly the grain, as it could easily be measured by weighing. So Osiris didn't just feed everyone, he was the very essence of trade and wealth. And even when a Egyptian died, he was led by Horus to Osiris who would take out his heart (ouch) and weigh it against a feather of Ma'at, goddess of truth.  Now the question: What is weighing in Ancient Egypt? If you were reading with enough attention, you would easily remember the correct answer: a measurement of price, measurement of worth. So Osiris, the god of wealth, is also given the role of god of measurement. He even measures such thing as truth and order in a heart. You can't get more important and cool than this. |
