The Story of Osiris

    In the land of Ancient Egypt two brothers lived in a palace together as rulers of Egypt. There names were Osiris and Set. Set represented everything evil and Osiris represented everything good. The people loved Osiris and hated Set. overtime Set became envious of Osiris.

     Then one day Set built a beautiful chest. Once the chest was done Set threw a party and invited all of his friends and family. Set said who ever could fit into the chest could take it home. What Set did is he made the chest to where only Osiris could fit in the chest. When Osiris got into the chest Set had his servants put the lid down and lock the chest.

     When Osiris's wife had her back turned Set had his servants take the chest to the Nile River and dump the chest in it. When Isis heard about this she was heart broken. So she set off to look for the chest. One day the chest landed up on shore in the country of Babylon near a tree. Over time the tree grew and the tree's roots surrounded the chest.

      One day The King of Babylon was hunting and came across the tree. The king thought the tree was so beautiful he had it cut down and made into a pillar for his palace. One day Isis Came to the land of Babylon. She came across where the tree had been and saw chips of the chest that held her husband. Isis asked for directions to the palace.

      When Isis got to the palace she asked the queen if she could become the queen's son's nanny. The queen quickly gave her the job. Over time Isis grew fond of the prince. One day Isis decided to make the prince a god. The queen came upon Isis and confronted her.

      Since the spell had been interrupted in couldn't be redone. Isis became furious and revealed herself as an Egyptian goddess. The queen became frightened. The queen offered everything she owned to please Isis. Isis asked for the wooden pillar and the queen gave the pillar to Isis.

      Isis used her magic to take the chest out of the pillar. Isis took the chest back to Egypt and hid it among tall grass. One day Set was out hunting and discovered the chest. Set took Osiris's body and chopped it up and hid the pieces all through out Egypt. Isis and her sister-in-law looked for the pieces of Osiris.

       When they found the pieces they put up pillars. They looked all over Egypt but couldn't find all the pieces. With the help of the god Anubis they breathed life into Osiris. And together Isis and Osiris conceived a son and named him Horus. Osiris became god of the underworld and crops.
      
       When Horus grew up he promised to avenge his father's death. One day Horus and Set engaged in a battle. Horus won, but during the battle he lost one of his eyes. Horus banished Set to the deserts of Egypt. Horus then became king of Egypt.

 And that is the story of Osiris.
