Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
The cycle of Osiris and Set is the great story of ancient Egypt. It is not only a family tragedy. It is the fight between order (Ma'at, harmony) and barren chaos.
Through the murder, the dismemberment and the resurrection of Osiris, the Egyptians thought through kingship, the fertility of the Nile and life after death. Every living pharaoh was a Horus. Every dead king became an Osiris.
