Giza Plato, Painting by Kofi Ghanatta ‘Indiebuddy’
I have always been so fascinated by ancient Egypt and have wanted to do a painting like this for a long time. This is my version of Isis and Osiris. There is a tragic story behind Osiris and Isis, and how Osiris became the God of the underworld. This image is how I like to think of them, young and in love before they became gods. I looked at some old papyrus images of them for reference. The clothing is a bit different from the references that I looked at. I have two signatures in this work one is my regular and one is painted in Hieroglyphics on the vase. The sketch for this was done in Painter, the painting was done in Photoshop.

Water colour, Pen and Pencil on paper / Isis is a goddess in Ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and is celebrated in their mythology as the ideal mother and wife, patron of nature and magic; friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, the downtrodden, as well as listening to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers. / Shortly after 2,500 B.C., during the fifth dynasty, the first written records concerning the worship of Isis appear. The Romans spread her worship to the farthest reaches of their empire after they occupied Egypt in 32 A.D. This followed the invasion of Egypt by Alexander the Great and a Greek occupation for three hundred years beginning in 330 B.C. Although in different degrees, the Greeks and the Romans adopted deities from the Egyptian pantheon and often interpreted some of their own deities as having a parallel with some of the Egyptian deities. This gave some of their Roman and Greek deities an earlier history than their own—and implied a longer history for themselves. Many of the Egyptian deities were merged and renamed with those of the Greeks and Romans, but a few remained relatively unchanged. Isis is one who retained a unique Egyptian nature while being worshiped in other cultures. / The goddess Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, the goddess of the Overarching Sky, and was born on the fourth intercalary day. At some time Isis absorbed some characteristics of Hathor a powerful deity who was the mother of Horus. He represented the pharaohs, and as a deity provided them with protection. In later myths about Isis, she had a brother, Osiris, who became her husband, and she then was said to have conceived Horus. Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when he was murdered by Seth. Her magical skills restored his body to life after she gathered the parts of it that had been strew about the earth by Seth.[2] This myth became very important in later Egyptian religious beliefs. / Isis also is known as the goddess of simplicity, from whom all beginnings arose, and was the Lady of bread, of beer, and of green fields. In later myths, Ancient Egyptians believed that the Nile River flooded every year because of her tears of sorrow for her dead husband, Osiris, relived each year in rituals

My version of Osiris. This is the Egyptian guardian of the dead.
( Originally drawn on the 7th June 2005. ) The hieroglyphs say ‘Wn-n-n-nfr’ – ‘Wennefer’, which is Osiris’ other name… (I know this as I can, to a degree, read hiroglyphs and I … er… have… some… weird… uhm… connection with him o_O ) By god’s hes hort! xD ‘The Underworld’ and Osiris (This representation of) © RDS.

‘The Underworld’ Fan-Art. Not been able to scan this either till now. I haven’t drawn any fanart for ‘The Underworld’ in ages. For those not in the know: Geb (Left) and his son Osiris. (Right.) Geb has a goose on his head all the time in the show and Thoth (Top Left) hates it. Hence the grimacing. xD

This I made for the Aery Soul 2009 “Reinvented Myths” contest, where we had to take an old myth and change it somehow. I used the Egyptian tale of how Isis had to put her husband Osiris back together after their brother, Set, murdered him, in a much more futuristic setting. Daz Studio, Paint.Net
Abu Simbel was not the only ancient site threatened by the Aswan High Dam project. The lower dam already partially submerged the ancient island of Philae part of the year and washed away the vegetation and ancient colors of the Ptolemaic temples that remained in this place. Philae was holy to the ancient Egyptians as one of the burial places of Osiris and the island was once so sacred that only the priests could set foot on it. The entire complex was moved to another island to save it from what is now Lake Nasser. The island was shaped to appear just like the original and the temples were painstakingly moved to higher ground to save them for future generations. This main temple is dedicated to the goddess, Isis.
