into the rituals and beliefs of Egyptians much later.
Of course, it had been built for Osiris’s form and when he got in it, Set shut the lid and threw it in the Nile river
Osiris eventually absorbed the power of Ra over the Nile, the floods, the vegetation
The body was taken away from the home to "the place of purification." First the body was washed with water from the Nile, then the liver, lungs, stomach and intestines were removed

EAWC Essay: The Egyptian Culture Reflected in Worship
Essay by Deborah Howard at Exploring Ancient World Cultures which traces the
relationship between Egyptian worship rituals and the culture of ancient Egypt.
The Nile River Valley and Nile Delta, circa 4000-5000 BCE, was comprised of about 12, 000 square miles of arable land
The villages and towns of ancient Egypt were found up and down the length of the Nile with most of the population living below the First Cataract (located approximately at present day Aswan)
They knew the Nile would flood each year and bring new life and abundant grain
The Nile's flooding was predictable and left rich new deposits of silt for new crops, making irrigation easy to plan
The virtual isolation of the Nile Valley allowed Egyptian civilization to develop unthreatened by its neighbors
An invader would have to be quite determined to brave the elements that protected the Nile Valley civilization
Egyptian gods were depicted as wise, caring, predictable, and forgiving, just as the Nile was predictable and life sustaining
In one legend, Set cut up Osiris' body and cast it in the Nile, and Isis shed so many tears that the Nile came over its banks
The flooding of the Nile each spring was caused by the tears of Isis as she sought the body of Osiris
Farmers would build the pyramids while the Nile was flooding

Drinking Along the Nile
Essay which looks at the history of wine and beer.
It was meant to give the monarch a long life, to ensure his passage into the afterlife, and to encourage the life-giving Nile to keep up the good work
After staving in his sibling’s head with an axe, Seth dismembered Osiris’ corpse and scattered the pieces up and down the Nile
Osiris also had the distinction of being the resident god of wine, and during the Wag-festival his name was expanded to “Lord of Wine in the Flood.” The festival celebrated Osiris’ death and rebirth, and coincided with the annual flooding of the mighty Nile
It continued day and night with singing, dancing, poetry, and games, all set to the thunderous music of the flooding Nile
How Beer Saved the Human Race Located right on the Nile between Abydos and Thebes, Dendara was a giant city-sized temple dedicated to the goddess Hathor
When the Nile floods the fields, the water takes on a reddish tint from the soil, looking much like a red lake
So it made sense that each year when the waters returned to the Nile and flooded the fields, the Egyptians honored first Osiris then Hathor, celebrating divinity and their own continued health and prosperity
Ancient Egyptian Sexuality
An overview of sex in society in ancient Egypt.
Now as the overflowings of the Nile are sometimes very great, and extend to the boundaries of the land, this gave rise to the story of the secret intercourse between Osiris and, as the natural consequence of so great an would be the springing up of plants in those parts of the country which were formerly barren
had dropped the penis into the Nile (making it fertile), where it was eaten by a fish
The semen comes out of himself, and he becomes the laughing stock of the gods! The Egyptian god if the Nile, was a masculine deity, given female properties because of the fertility of the Nile river
Without the Nile, there would be no Egypt

On rare occasion, the Nile exceeds its limits and flows out onto this desert ground, producing vegetation

Set, however, was envious of his brother, and conspired to kill Osiris, nailing his body in a coffin and throwing it into the Nile

In time, Isis recovered all the missing parts, except the phallus of Osiris, which Set had thrown into the Nile and had been eaten by a crab

McClung Museum - SCHOLARS, SCOUNDRELS, AND THE SPHINX
Explores the Nile River Valley between 1850 and 1930, at a time that saw the
birth of Egyptology as a science and the flowering of photography.
SCHOLARS, SCOUNDRELS, AND THE SPHINX : A Photographic and Archaeological Adventure Up the Nile 28 January - 30 July 2000 The McClung Museum has ushered in the new century with an exhibition that celebrates Egypt, the land of the pharaohs, in the 19th and early 20th centuries
The exhibition explores the Nile River Valley between 1850 and 1930, at a time that saw the birth of Egyptology as a science and the flowering of photography
The exhibition is a brief introduction to the important discoveries by a few leading Egyptologists, and the memorable views of the Nile River Valley produced by gifted and industrious photographers
SCHOLARS, SCOUNDRELS, AND THE SPHINX also suggests the condition of ancient tombs and monuments, mosques, and museums, providing views of how they once looked and indicating a few of the monuments subsequently moved to other locations due to rising waters of the Nile River resulting from construction of the dam at Aswan
Over 80 original photographic images, including albumen and silver prints, of more than 35 sites along the Nile River were taken from the McClung Museum's photographic archives
These early photographic records taken along the Nile River capture some of the major sites seen by the adventurous traveler of an earlier time

The First Aswan Dam
Describes the work to preserve the momuments and archaeological sites prior to
the inundation of Lower Nubia. Includes images from the collections of the Kelsey ...
The Building of the First Aswan Dam and the Inundation of Lower Nubia: Images from the Collections of the Kelsey Museum The Nile River is the main artery for Egypt and Nubia: the present course of the river, traceable to at least 25, 000 years ago, is a determining factor of the topography of the region
The yearly flood of the Nile is caused by late summer rains in the plateau region of Ethiopia, which in turn swell the tributaries of the Nile
Variable amounts of rainfall to Ethiopia cause stunning differences in the amount of flooding seen farther down the course of the Nile
At the turn of the century, agricultural production was being outstripped by the growth of the population in Egypt and the Sudan: the Nile had to be controlled if there was to be agricultural stability along its banks
Harnessing the power of the Nile would also yield the hydroelectric power necessary for industry
With the signing of the Nile Water Agreement by Egypt and the Sudan in November of 1959, work began on the second Aswan dam
Much of Lower Nubia would be submerged under the reservior created by the dam, destroying momuments and archaeological sites from the First to the Third Cataracts of the Nile River

Akhenaton: Ancient Revolutionary
Overview of Akhenaton's life and effect on the Egyptian people.
This Trinity had to do originally with the vital forces of generation in the Nile and the earth
Osiris represented the fertilizing power of the Nile, Isis the reproductive earth and Horus the vital force in the vegetation which was the fruit of the union of the first two
These same divine forces active in the Nile, the earth and vegetation were considered active in human life as well, at least in the life of the Pharaoh
Thus physically the Pharaoh was the human embodiment of the divine powers sf the Nile and .f vegetation, of life, death and resurrection sf Osiris and Horus
He also changed his name to Akhenaton, which means "Aton is satisfied." He reversed the entire foreign policy of Egypt by abandoning efforts to extend or even maintain Egyptian power outside the Nile valley
It was a faith in a God who had limitless power--a God no longer of the Nile valley alone, but of all men and all the world
The obvious dependence of Egypt on the Nile made it impossible to ignore this agency of life, and there is nothing which discloses more clearly the surprising rationalism of Akhenaton than the fact that he stripped off without hesitation the venerable body of myth and tradition which deified the Nile as Osiris, and attributed the flooding to natural forces controlled by his god, who in like solicitude for other lands made a Nile for them in the sky
