ISIS AND OSIRIS: Rise of Egypt, Second Edition. In the mouths of all people was the story of how the throne of the greatest civilization on earth came into their land and recovered the
dismembered pieces of her lover. Of how she reassembled him and bore him a son. The magnificent story of Isis and Osiris brought hope to the hopeless, joy to the joyless, and united the upper and lower kingdoms with universal common experience.
Great was the story of their love.
And of her wrath.
Book 4 in "The Beginning of Civilization: Mythologies Told True" series which deconstructs Greek, Egyptian, Phoenician, and Canaanite myths to imagine the story of our protohistory as lived by the everyday people very much like us. Book 4 imagines the stories behind the myths of Isis and Osiris, Set and Horus, a story for how Djoser builds Kemet into a great civilization, and demystifies the stories behind some of our worlds great structures.
