25. Osiris became king of the Upper
and Lower Egypt and earned lasting
fame for himself and his subjects:
He united the nomads to be a
highly civilized people
He taught the arts of farming
Gave them a body of laws so
they could live and work
together in peace
And finally, taught them to
revere and worship the gods.

27. After Osiris returned Set became even more
determined to rule Egypt.
One night, while Osiris was asleep Set
secretly measured the king’s body.
He then commanded his craftspeople to
construct a wooden box that would fit
Osiris. He ordered the best artisan in the
land to decorate it so beautifully that it
would be a work of art.
Finally he convinced 72 of Osiris’ subject to
join him in planning a revolt.

28. “Whoever among you would like to
own this beautiful box should climb
into it. I promise to give it as a gift
to the person whose body is a
perfect fit. “

30. They carried the box to the Nile
river and dump it into the
water. the current carried the
box to the mouth of the Nile,
where it became lodged in the
papyrus swamps in the eastern
part of the delta.

31. The people who lived near the city of
Chemmis were the first to hear about the
murder of Osiris, and they spread word of
set’s terrible deed.
When Isis heard about Osiris’ death, hear
heart overflowed with grief.
She immediately cut of one of her locks as
a sign of mourning and put on the clothing
worn by a woman whose loved one has died.
Then she set off in search of the box.

32. Finally, she found a group of
children who had watched the
box drift into the papyrus
swamps at the mouth of the
Nile and they told her the
direction it had gone.
She learned that the box had
lodged among the branches of
the tamarisk bush in the
papyrus swamp near the
Byblos. This bush had grown
into a very large tree, and
the box had been completely
enclosed within the tree’s
trunk.

33. King Melcarthus
ordered to place
the huge trunk to
the center of his
dining hall to help
support the
palace. The use of
this tree trunk as
a column was
talked far and
wide.

34. She travelled to the town near Melcarthus’
palace.
The Goddess sat there in silence until queen
Astarte’s handmaidens arrived for water. Then
she spoke with them in a very kind and
friendly fashion .

35. Queen Astarte was so delighted
to Isis that she asked the
Mother Goddess to become the
nurse of one of her sons. In
time, Isis told the queen of
her story and asked for
permission to cut open the
pillar that supported the
palace.
With the queen’s permission
she did so and removed the
box without harming the
ceiling.

37. Upon reaching the remote place in the desert,
Isis stopped and opened the box. The sight of
her beloved husband, lying still and lifeless, was
more than her heart could bear.
The great goddess placed her face against the
face of Osiris, embraced his body and wept with
grief. Then placed the wings of a bird upon her
arms, and hovered upon Osiris, flapping her
wings in order to create air for him to
breathe.

38. She carefully hid the box in a remote isolated
place, where it could be safe from harm.

40. Listen to my counsel ,Isis, and obey me. Those who follow the
advise of other live and prosper. You must now escape from the
eye of Set, and I shall help you. If you will hide your child from
Set until he is grown up, he will become doubly strong. Then he
surely will avenge his father and will sit upon his father’s throne.
However until that time comes, Horus will never be far from
danger. Therefore I shall teach you the words of power that will
protect Horus from death on earth, in world above and in the
other world.

41. My child and I are all alone in the
world, because of the death of my
husband. My grief surpass the sorrow
of anyone in Egypt. So turn your face
to the ground and take me to a
hidden place where I may rear my child
in safety and in peace.

42. Isis brought Horus to an island in the
papyrus swamps of Nile Delta.
There she secretly nursed and rear her
child. Isis would often hide Horus
among the papyrus plants while she
went into a nearby city to find food.
But one day…

44. It came to pass that Set was
hunting in the desert by
moonlight one night when he
accidentally came upon the
box that Isis had hidden.
As he gaze upon the corpse
of his rival, Set’s heart filled
with implacable hatred and
rage. In a mad fury, The evil
god tore the corpse of Osiris
into 14 pieces.

45. Then Set travelled
throughout the kingdom of
Egypt, scattering the
pieces of Osiris whenever
his whim led him.

46. Whenever they found a
piece, Isis collected it.
Then buried a small
figurine of Osiris at
that spot and placed a
tomb over it. She hope
that this device would
mislead Set and give
them the time they
needed to find and heal
Osiris.

47. After finding all
the pieces…
Osiris was
buried…

48. After finding Osiris
in the underworld,
Isis and Nephthys
pronounced the
magical worlds…
Horus removed his
other eye, and
placed it in his
father’s mouth, and
directed him to
swallow it.

49. After finding all
the pieces…

50. Once Osiris had rejoined the gods, Re made
him the King of the Other World. Horus
then became king of the Upper and Lower
Egypt.
Now that Horus had taken
his place among the gods
Osiris decided that the
time had come to deal
with Set. He tested Horus
readiness to avenge his
father’s murder.

51. What is the most glorious
deed a man can perform?
To take avenge upon one who has
injured his father and mother.
What animal is most useful to a
warrior?
A horse
Why not a lion? A lion is more powerful but a horse is more
quicker. Therefore a horse help a warrior
capture a fleeing enemy better than a lion.

52. Horus and Set did fight each other, first in
the form of two men and then in the form
of two bears. The fight was so fierce that it
lasted 3 days.

53. Horus finally won and took Set prisoner.

54. But once Horus had conquered Set, Isis
suddenly felt a great pity for him. In her
sympathy for her fallen enemy, Isis used her
father’s magical words.

55. Drop your weapons
Horus!

56. How can you do this to me mother? How can you let her do
it grandfather? Father did you train ,e to win, only to see
me lose in my moment of victory? Set has been our enemy
for so long! He is evil, and his ways are cruel beyond
imagining!

57. No one replied to Horus’ accusations. He
watched helpless, as Set ran away. In fury,
Horus then tore after Isis like a panther
chasing its prey. When he caught her, he
fought as fiercely as he had fought with Set.
Finally Horus cut of her…

58. Thoth immediately used his magical words of
power to change his daughters head into a
cow, and quickly attached it to her body.
Horus then knew that Set would have to
remain free. At least for the time being. He
would conquer him, but in some other way
around.

59. Set’s accusation of Horus being an
illegitimate child.

60. But Set did not give up. Twice more he
challenged Horus and twice more he lost in
combat.
At last he accepted Horus’
right to rule the kingdom.

61. Once Horus had inherited his father’s
kingdom Isis remained with Osiris in
the Other World and always
accompanied him. She was satisfied
and happy her husband had returned
to life and love. Her son had avenged
their father. The gods had

and lower Egypt was in good hands,
and all was well.
