A very, very long time ago there lived the egyptian gods and goddesses. One of 

them was named   Nut, goddess of the earth, who was married to Geb, god of 

the sky. One day Nut decided to go run off on her own to visit another god. 

Geb was so angry that he put a curse on her preventing her from having any 

children.  

Nut then went to her good friend Thoth for help, he was god of wisdom and 

learning. Wanting to help his friend he went to the moon god and asked if he 

could have some of the light from the moon. In order to get the light he 

must play games against the moon and win.  

Thoth started winning the games, he won enough light to add five extra 

days to the year. Nut had four children on theses five extra days, there 

names were Osiris, Isis, Set and Nepthys. 

Osiris became king, but there was one problem, his brother Set was very 

jealous of all the glory and attention his brother was getting. Set had a devious 

plan in which he would create a box that would fit Osiris perfectly. 

Set had a dinner party for Osiris one night, during this party he tricked Osiris 

into lying down in the box. Right when he was in the box Set put the cover on 

it so Osiris would suffocate. When the deed was done he sent the box down 

the river. 

Osiris's wife and sister, Isis was filled with sorrow over his death. She then 

traveled the desert in hope of fining his lost body. With Isis gone and Osiris 

dead, Set finally became king of Egypt . 

Isis wandered the lands effortlessly looking for the box that held Osiris's body. 

One day she sat by the river just as the queens maidens came to bathe. When 

they came out of the river Isis showed them how to plait their hair. They 

thanked her and then returned to the palace.   

Isis's sent seemed to cling to them which the queen loved, she then asked 

asked them who had plaited their hair. When the maidens explained that it 

was a girl by the Riverside, the queen asked to meet her straightaway. 

Once the queen found out Isis was a goddess, she offered her gifts of treasury. 

Isis wanted only one thing though, the pillar that held up the roof and what was 

contained in it. Once the pillar was cut down she opened it and revealed the box 

that Set had created. Inside of it lay the body of Osiris, who she then took with 

her back home.
