The myth of Isis, Osiris and Horus is no exception in this area. Over seven thousand years ago the Sages of ancient Egypt told an epic story about the life, death and resurrection of a virtuous king, how he came toearth in order to show the righteous path to all humanity, how his wife saved him from the abyss of death and oblivion, and how his son vindicated his name to reaffirm the values of life which lead to spiritual enlightenment. While there is no one source where the entire story may be found, pieces of it are inscribed in various ancient temples walls, tombs, steles and papyri.
