Similarities Between Dumuzi And Osiris

Nubia and Egypt are two different civilizations, but deep down in the roots of their government, environment, and agriculture, there are some similarities that can be brought up. Along with these similarities are differences. Such as how they both relied on the Nile River and both had Pharaohs, but Egypt was more isolated than Nubia.

The Exaltation of Inanna reads as an ode filled with several flatteries given to Inanna in the same way a child flatters a mother before asking for a piece of candy. Enheduanna immediately addresses Inanna after describing Inanna’s beauty and how great her powers are. Enheduanna finally claims ownership after telling Inanna that she's aware of all the powers Inanna possesses and as the High Priestess she prayed to her. Enheduanna explains how Lugalanne was once an ally of hers until he kicked her out of the priesthood and now the people that are controlled by him are sinners and hate her Nanna. Enheduanna wants Inanna to haunt Lugalanne into giving Enheduanna back her position as High Priestess. Enheduanna also describes how she has come to

The section, or rather, sections that have struck me this week are the ones on Mesopotamia & Persia and Egypt. I have sort of a personal connection to both.

Osiris (shown above) the god of the afterlife, or underworld, Osiris was the King of Egypt, murdered by his brother Seth and then resurrected by his sister/ wife Isis as the king of the dead, a king from which every Egyptian hoped to join in the afterlife. Osiris was a god originally connected with fertility, he is known primarily through the story of his death, murdered by his brother Seth over the jealousy of his throne, and

Some Greek deities can also be identified with Egyptian ones, in particular the Greek Dionysus and the Egyptian Osiris. They both preside over fertility, in addition to their other duties. Another similarity is that they are both twice-born. Dionysus was born first from Semele’s womb and then later from Zeus's thigh. Osiris was the son of Geb and Nut and was resurrected by Isis after being murdered by Set. (Livingston, Greek and Egyptian Religious Parallels) Other Gods and Goddesses that are similar include Horus and Apollo, Isis and Demeter, Hathor and Aphrodite, Neith and Athena and Bast and Artemis. (FOOTNOTE GREEK AND EGYPTIAN RELIGIOUS PARALLELS) There appears to be an overlap between many deities in Greek and Egyptian mythologies.

Ptah was also a creator god who built the boats that carried the souls of the dead into the Underworld. Osiris was the ruler of the Underworld and husband to Isis, the goddess of fertility and the ideal wife. Isis’ song, Horus, was the god of the sky and depicted with a hawk-like head often portrayed with a double crown. These deities were worshipped daily by the Egyptians in temples built by the ruling pharaoh and his priests. The pharaoh was viewed as the intermediary between the deities and his people. Through his kingship and divine power, he was expected to maintain universal peace and order. Egyptians also underwent extensive and excessive processes to preserve their souls after death through tombs, mummification, and offerings to the gods for preservation of the deceased bodies (“Ancient Egyptian Religion”). The concept of life after death is rooted in ancient Egyptian religion where funerary processes and burial rituals were fundamental and crucial to an afterlife.

Isis was the goddess of magic. She was the sister of Nephthys, Seth, and Osiris. She was the daughter of Nut and Geb, and had a child named Horus with Osiris. She has the crown of the North and south. When her husband, Osiris was

Before curing Lucas, Ultima asked his brother if he would accept the responsibility of disturbing fate and he accepted. These kinds of events continue to happen all throughout the story.

Towards the end of the story he finds out that Ultima’s owl is actually her spirit so he goes after the owl. Antonio tries to warn Ultima but is not able to do anything about it. Ultima’s owl is shot, causing Ultima’s death and so is Tenorio as he tries to shoot Antonio. Before Ultima’s dies, she speaks to Tony’

Picture it, dark, gloomy, lifeless. Pictured it? Well that’s the underworld for you. After one’s death there soul was supposidly sent down to the underworld. A joyless and hopeless, where no soul was able to escape once it had entered the doomed pit. However, if my some chance they had permission from Hades himself they were able to leave. Supposively the underground was no a horrible place but for the souls that roamed there it felt as if it were a never ending nightmare. No hope or light of any sort lived in this place.

Irkalla told Ishtar that no one ever returns and she was now stuck in the underworld. Irkalla summoned the demon of the plague, Namtar, to spread the “sickness” over Ishtar. Feathers grew on her body and all the luminosity in her eyes faded to black. Ishtar was pronounced a “slave” of the underworld. Earth without the goddess of love and fertility was dramatically impacted. Desire became unknown to man as it also did to animals. Birds had quit singing and people had become lonely. The sun god, Shamash was greatly perturbed by the effects Ishtar being in the underworld had on the people. He knew that if Ishtar didn’t come back all the living would become extinct. Shamash decided to call upon Ea to help find someone to rescue

Hatshepsut is another Egyptian god which can be classified as a hero she believed that joy and happiness were legitimate goals of life and regarded home and family as the major source of delight.” Because of this belief, women enjoyed a higher respect in Egypt than in many other cultures of the ancient world. While the man was considered the head of the house, the woman was head of the home. She raised the children of both sexes until, at the age of four or five, boys were taken under the care and protection of their fathers to learn their profession (or attend school if the father’s profession was that of a scribe). Girls remained under the care of their mothers, learning how to run a household, until they were
