| Isis was the wife of Oseris and the mother of Horus who protected him against
his enemy Seth who locked up his father Oseris in a coffin and threw it in the
Nile river. Isis started searching desperately for her husband's body, to bury
it properly and finally she was told by some children where it was. She hid the
body and went to look after her son Horus. Seth was afraid that she might bring
Oseris back to life by her magic power so he went to the place Isis hid Oseris
body and cut it to many pieces and scattered the pieces in the Nile river. When
Isis found out that Seth did that she search for the parts and whenever she
found a piece of Oseris body she she buried it and built a shrine on it. Oseris became the king of the Dead and Egyptians hoped they would join him
after death.
