An overview of the Passion of Osiris, aka Osiris resurrection myth, according to which Set kills his brother Osiris, cuts his body into 14 pieces, and scatters them about the land, so that his soul can never be reborn. His sister-wife Isis recollects 13 of the fourteen pieces, all by the phallus, then mummifies Osiris, and with her sister Nephthys, magically brings him back long enough to procreate, and produce the offspring of Horus, who avenges his dead father (now god of the afterlife) by killing his uncle Set, thereby bringing order to the land. By 300AD, this had been monotheistically-rewritten into the of the Passion of Christ. [1] |
