The Myth of Osiris

Once their was a hill in the middle of the waters called ben-ben in chaos. In that hill lived Atum, the first god. When Atum coughed and spat out Shu, the god of air, and Tefnut, the goddness of moisture. They had two children. First, came Geb, the god of the earth, and then came Nut, god of the sky. Shu lifted Nut up so high to conopy over Geb. Nut and Geb had four children named Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nephthys. Osiris was the king of the Earth and Isis the queen. Osiris was a great king and had power over Earth for many years. Osiris brother Seth was so jealous that he wanted to rule the Earth, so he killed Osiris and took over his power. After Osiris's death, Osiris went down to the underground. Osiris and Isis had a son named Horus. Horus battled Seth and regained the throne and he became king of the Earth and his father down in the underground Osiris became king of the underground.
THE END
