The Osiris Myth
This YouTube video explains the Osiris Myth very well and how Orions Belt lines up with the Pyramids of Giza and the Nile as the Milkyway. I chose this video because it also explains the creation of life the way the ancient Egyptians saw it, it is so interesting and creative how they viewed different things I choose this clip because it talkes a lot of the Afterlife and how it started and the importance and the what the ancient Egyptians believed as the Golden Age which was when the gods ruled Egypt, this explains about the pharaoh's and why they are thought to be half gods from Horus, the divine child of Isis and Osiris. My required outcome was to let my client see how important the afterlife is and here it from experts who have a wider knowledge. Myths of Mankind, chose all kinds of different topics and the people who they chose are experts in the fields such as authors, historians, even those who lived in that time who written what they knew like: Imhotep was chief architect to the Egyptian pharaoh Djoser (reigned c.2630 - c.2611 BC). He was responsible for the world's first known monumental stone building, the Step Pyramid at Sakkara and is the first architect we know by name and recognized as the world's first doctor , a priest,. scribe , sage, poet, astrologer, and a vizier and chief minister. Herodotus was a Greek historian who was born in Halicarnassus, Caria and lived in the fifth century BC, he travelled to Egypt and wrote a lot about their religion, mummification. Imohotep and Herodotus, were primary sources in Egypt and witnessed so much. Imohotep is mentioned in Myths of Mankind. Unfortunely i cannot find out when this video was published. Myths of Mankind, is a documentary series which looks at some of the world's greatest legends mystical and magical stories which have been told for thousands of years.
