The Myth of Osiris



At first, there was only Nun. Nun was the dark waters of chaos. One day, a hill rose up and out of the dark waters. This hill was called Ben-Ben. On the hill stood the first god, Atum. Atum coughed and spat out Shu, the god of the air, and Tefnut, the goddess of moisture. Shu and Tefnut had two children. First,there was Geb the god of the Earth. Then, there was Nut, the goddess of the sky. Shu lifted Nut up so that she became a canopy over Geb. Geb and Nut had four children Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nephthys. Osiris was the king of the Earth and Isis was a good king, and he ruled over the Earth for many years. However, everything was not well. Seth was jealous of Osiris because he wanted to be the ruler of the Earth. He grew angrier and angrier, so one day he killed Osiris. Osiris went into the underworld and Seth remained on Earth and became king. Osiris and Isis had one son called Horus. Horus battled against Seth and regained the throne. After that, Horus was the king of the Earth and Osiris was the king of the underworld. THE END!!!!!!
