Osiris myth

[edit]
  • ... that Egyptian writings about the myth of Osiris do not clearly describe Osiris' death because the Egyptians feared that doing so might negatively affect the world?
  • Reviewed: Bob Ely
  • Comment: The hook fact is located in the section "Death and resurrection of Osiris".

  • Satisfies the recent fivefold prose increase requirement. This article relates to a very major part of ancient Egyptian mythology, and the hook draws in the reader's attention by stating something that seems surprising to less superstitious, modern readers. Inline citations are found all over the place including for the hook. Teply (talk) 08:05, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
