The Egyptian goddess Isis

<p>The goddess Isis is certainly one of the most well-known among the Egyptian pantheon. However, she is not among the oldest deities. Her name first appears in the Pyramid Texts around 2350 BCE. Despite having chapels dedicated to her, notably from the New Kingdom in the sanctuaries of other gods like Osiris in Abydos, she only receives her own temple starting from the 30th dynasty.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*tXPtkF8Gye4NV_BCoQZggw.jpeg" style="height:1050px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Osiris</p> <p>By her name, Aset (&quot;the seat&quot;), Hellenized as Isis, she may originally represent a personification of the royal throne. However, her primary role is that of a mother and wife. She is the spouse of the god Osiris, reassembling his body parts, and the mother of the young Horus, whom she gives birth to, nurtures, and legitimizes. From the Middle Kingdom onwards, the Coffin Texts narrate the story of the birth and childhood of Horus in the marshes of Chemmis.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@osmont.gregory/the-egyptian-goddess-isis-d68f2189cbb4"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
