Osiris is the god of resurrection and judgment and the head of the court of the dead among the ancient Egyptians. he is the only god who competed with the worship of the god Ra; In addition, He is one of the main sacred ennead gods in the ancient Egyptian religion.

"Osiris" was the first Egyptian king to rule in prehistoric times according to Ancient Egyptian legends. His sacred city was Zaydu, and it took its name from his spell. Concerning the river banks, Osiris was the lord of floods, and green fields, and the lord and ruler of the dead. It was believed that his head was buried in Abydos, his worship in Abydos was mixed with other worship. The reason for this is that the Egyptian gods did not have a designated place for worshipping like Olympus for the Greek gods. You can visit Abydos which is very near to Luxor city after spending an enjoyable time during Egypt Nile cruise Tours between Luxor and Aswan.
The name of Osiris in ancient languages is his real name in hieroglyphics; Besides, his logo was the five-pointed star, the star of the sea. The sea star always appears frequently on the Egyptian beaches during the flood season. He also gives them knowledge about the lunar calendars for worship and the solar calendars for planting. The star was considered a holy amulet that was significant for the followers of his sect among the Egyptians, especially in the sciences of astronomy and the priests who were in charge of serving the holy temples and pyramids to monitor the movement of the stars to hold religious celebrations. Come to Egypt to see and know about the Egyptian civilization through Egypt Classic tour itineraries, and to see the advanced architecture of the ancient Egyptians.
The ancient Egyptians strongly believed in life after death and the concept of resurrection: They believed that the dead person would be punished or blessed for his deeds. They accept as a true that Horus would bring the dead person after passing the test of the scales in front of Osiris. They will enter paradise; In addition, will be given beautiful clothes. Before that, the dead person’s worldly deeds will be weighed by placing his heart on one side of the scale and placing the feather of Maat, the symbol of “justice and good morals” on the other side and discover which will be more to pass the test to enter the paradise.

According to the Egyptian religion, Osiris was killed by his evil brother Seth, who was the symbol of evil. With deception, Seth made Osiris lie down in a chest, which he immediately closed and threw into the Nile. The chest drifted and reached the shores of Lebanon, where it was finally found by Isis, who brought it back to Egypt.
Seth, however, managed to seize the chest and split Osiris' body into many parts that he scattered across Egypt. Isis then went in search of the limbs, reassembled the body, and revived Osiris to conceive Horus, who, using his mother's magical powers, defeated Seth and restored the divine order again.
In the Book of the Dead, there is a drawing of Osiris sitting on a throne in the afterlife with his wife Isis and his sister Nephthys next to him, with his four children around him, helping him in the judgment of a dead man.
The ancient Egyptians always thought that Osiris made a simple test for every dead person. He gets his heart out of his body and puts it on one side of the steelyard, and on the other side of it, he would put a feather. If the feather was heavier than the dead person's heart, he would be eaten by Amamut (an animal with the body of a hippo, head of a lion, and the tail of a crocodile), and it would be his final fate as he was not a good person in his life. But if the heart was heavier than the feather, the dead person wore very silky clothes and went to the garden (heaven) because he was a good person in his earlier life.

According to Egyptian belief, Osiris was not only the ruler of the underworld but also the judge of the dead. The Book of the Dead illustrates a crucial scene where Osiris presides over the judgment of souls. The deceased person's heart was weighed against the feather of Ma’at, the goddess of truth and justice. If the heart was lighter than the feather, the soul was granted passage to the paradise of the Field of Reeds. However, if the heart was heavier, it was devoured by Amamut, a monstrous creature with the body of a hippo, the head of a lion, and the tail of a crocodile, condemning the soul to oblivion.
Osiris was assisted in this judgment by his wife, Isis, and his sister, Nephthys, along with his four children. This divine process reinforced the concept of moral righteousness, emphasizing that only those who lived virtuous lives would attain eternal peace.
The gods Osiris and Isis both had sons, one of whom was Horus. The ancient Egyptians were associated with the god Horus, which is the Hurrian name. The god Horus was mentioned frequently in ancient Egyptian mythology.Especially the legend of the conflict between Horus and Set, and that he took revenge on his uncle Set, because he killed his father, and was crowned king of the living, and every king who ruled Egypt ruled as Horus on earth.
Horus became the king of this earthly existence, while Osiris became the god of reckoning in the afterlife. Every king of Egypt ruled by a representative of Horus, and he sought the help of the god Horus in his actions and wars. Therefore, we find all the kings of Egypt named after Horus in one of their names (the king usually had 5 titles).
Archaeologists have denied the existence of a tomb for Osiris and confirmed that the Temple of Osirion does not contain any tomb for the god Osiris at all, because he is originally a mythical figure.
The name of the temple is derived from the name of this mythical figure, and perhaps for this reason myths are spreading about the existence of a tomb for him inside the temple.
Osiris:
-Wearing a tight white robe that exposes his two crossed hands holding the setre, the mummified guy can be seen sitting or standing but never moving. In addition to holding the Nehek and Heka
-He also appears in the form of an Osiric bed; he was worshipped at Abu Sir in the form of a vase or lidded jug in the shape of the the head of the god Osiris.
