Who is Osiris?
From what I have read on Facebook and seen by randomly-googling Osiris - there are many similarities between his story and the one of Jesus. Some argue that the original Christian Church recycled Osiris's story to create the fictional Jesus. I believe Jesus really lived. His life and times though, who knows?
I will research more about Osiris at a later date, but as a snapshot, here is some basic information :)
- He is the first born son of Geb and Nut
- The hieroglyph for his name is comprised of a symbol for an eye and a royal carrying chair.
- He is a universal God capable of absorbing the qualities of other deities into his own personality.
- Linked to the growing and harvesting of crops - represents the development of civilisation.
- Associated with life after death and the enduring light of the spirit.
- He presided over the Egyptian underworld 'Duat'.
- Colours are White and Green.
