of the iconic battle between Horus and Set. But in reality, the movie is loosely based on actual Egyptian mythology. It is fascinating to see the differences between the film, and mythology. As well as analyze the movie’s message, and how the movie uses myth to deliver that message. The movie Gods of Egypt and the original myths detailing Osiris and Horus’s lives are incredibly different. In the tale, Osiris’s death occurs a lot differently. In the myth, Set, his brother invites him to a banquet

the one who created or helped created the original eight deities. Shu (god of wind and air), Tefnut (goddess of rain), Seb (god of the earth or ground), and Nut (goddess of firmament) where the first four gods, then Seb and Nut created Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys (1-2). Though in some tellings

Essay 1 I teach developmental mathematics courses for struggling math students at the Community College of Philadelphia. For many students, this is where the community college experience begins – in a remedial arithmetic or algebra class, reviewing mathematics concepts they learned, or should have learned, before they graduated from high school. As I reviewed the course syllabus and class requirements on the first day of a new semester, Scott, an older male student shouted

In very ancient Egyptian history, Anubis was once called “Duat” and was the supreme ruler of the underworld, until the myths of Osiris, the weird green dude, came by and stole that from him. Kind’ve unfair, since this pickle guy just straight up stole Anubis’s place as ruler. Anubis was reassigned to “God of Embalming”, which is just depressing. In ancient Egypt, Anubis is being represented by priests wearing masks of jackals, as a tribute to Anubis while mummifying corpses. And, this leads me to

deities herald him by saying “He lives, the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, beloved of Ra, living forever! Heir of Geb, Osiris, beloved of the gods, Osiris, given life, endurance, joy, health, all happiness, like Ra!” (Kaster 81) After being murdered by Set, he became ruler of the Netherworld, and was replaced as King of Upper and Lower Egypt, by his son, Horus. The idea of a supreme deity is common in both Greek and Egyptian traditions. Some Greek deities can also be identified with Egyptian ones,

With mathematics seemingly being intuitive and the basis of the universe around us it would seem a given that mathematics has always been there, that it is a physical concept which we can completely understand and one that has set rules that cannot change. However this is not the case and we only have to look just over two thousand years into the past to see the use of Roman Numerals, where numbers were represented by letters or four thousand years in the past to see the unrealistic yet beautiful

process by which state-makers enforce war in the pursuit of territory, human population and scarce resources. Tilly says that state-makers did not take part in the pivotal and costly tasks of war-making, extraction and capital accumulation with a mind set of ultimately forming a state. Rather, Tilly argued that the pursuit of resources for war-making, capital accumulation and extraction was required to gain territory, money and human population. Tilly describes capital accumulation as the process of

The imagery of amulets is repeated throughout the excavated Ancient Egyptian tombs, such as that of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen of the 18th dynasty. It is clear these amulets played a crucial role in the mummification process. One of the most well known and intricately defined amulets is the Eye of Horus. It has an extensive religious meaning as well as a thorough and complex belief system to support its importance. The story behind the Eye of Horus has been the greatest influence behind the famous

The god of Osiris was the king of Egypt. He was classically depicted as a green-skinned man with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs. His brother, Seth, plotted to kill him because of jealousy. Osiris was a good god to his people. He was married to Isis, who was also his sister. After being murder by his brother, he still remained a monument to the Egyptians. Osiris's wife, Isis restores her husband's body, allowing him to posthumously conceive a son with her. Osiris is one of

The god Anubis was the god of cemeteries and embalming. Anubis’s head is the jackal. Around a time he was called the golden jackal. Anubis’s parents were Osiris and Nephthys. Jackals will always appear during embalming of a pharaoh or another upper class. This is how the ancient Egyptians knew Anubis is watching over them. Anubis would lead the ancient Egyptians into the darkness of the underworld. Anubis is the most important god for the the old kingdom (2686-2181 BC). Anubis also had many other
