Parallels Between Osiris and Jesus - Part I.... Briefly, the Egyptians believed that Osiris was King and Creator of the Gods, and of heaven and earth, that He came down to earth to live as a man, that He was killed by his enemies, (other Gods headed by Seth,) that His body was mutilated and scattered, and that He rose to once again assume command in the Heavens. The ancient Egyptians appealed to Him for resurrection and eternal life in the heavens. Osiris was the God through whose sufferings and death the Egyptian hoped that His body might rise again in some transformed or glorified shape, and to Him who had conquered death and had become the King of the other world the Egyptian appealed in prayer for eternal life through His victory and power. In every funeral inscription known to us, from the pyramid texts down to the roughly written prayers upon coffins of the Roman period, what is done for Osiris is done also for the deceased, the state and condition of Osiris are the state and condition of the deceased; in a word, the deceased is identified with Osiris. If Osiris lives forever, the deceased will live for ever; if Osiris dies, then will the deceased perish and thats my Peace...///7\\\
