Is the tomb of osiris real?

Answer 1

I've studied ancient Egypt for a fraction of my life, and have grown intrigued with the matter entirely. Wether the tomb of Osiris is real is debateable. You see, based on my knowledge, the tomb of Osiris is supposedly located on Biga Island in southern Egypt, just south west of the temple of Isis. This is logical considering Isis and Osiris were spouses and had a son name of Horus. Unfortunately, the tale of the Tomb may be submerged underwater as a result of the construction of the Aswan Dam. This dam may have flooded most of the island. It is a mystery if the island, or better yet, the entire tomb is still there, perhaps even a fragment.

Also, some fascinating legend behind Osiris goes some what like this: Osiris was one of the great Pharaoh's of Egypt in history, of both upper and lower Egypt (he wore the crown with white and red, expressing the unitement of upper and lower Egypt). He ruled Egypt greatly with his wife Isis. Isis had long golden wings, and Osiris was of what looked to be just an ordinary Pharaoh. They had a son, name of Horus with the face of a Falcon. Finally after many years of ruling, Osiris's greedy brother, Seth, or better known as Set, not to be confused with Seti, grew eager to take control of Egypt. He then, with preceeding planning, assassinated his brother. Set chopped up the body into many pieces (some say 13, some say 26, it's debateable) and scattered the pieces among the vast deserts of Egypt. Isis mourned his death, and was enraged. To avenge his death, she gathered the pieces of the body. This took many years. In the mean time, the high priests found guilt in Seth's story, and Horus became the Pharoh of Egypt in his Father's place. After all the pieces were gathered, she wrapped them to form the first mummy of Egypt. She placed them in the, "Holy mound," commonly known as the small Biga Island. She formed the temple there. Horus lead the Empire strong, as eventually, Isis died, and requested a temple near the island, although the architects and builders were unsure why. Since then, Osiris was the great ruler of the living and dead, the God of the underworld known as Duat.

I hope this documentary supplied concise, logical and of course helpful information.
