Isis and Osiris: Rise of Egypt
In the mouths of all people was the story of how the throne of the greatest civilization on earth came into their land and recovered the dismembered pieces of her lover. Of how she reassembled him and bore him a son. The magnificent story of Isis and Osiris brought hope to the hopeless, joy to the joyless, and united the upper and lower kingdoms with universal common experience. Great was the story of their love.
And of her wrath.
This is Book 4 in the six-book series The Beginning of Civilization: Mythologies Told True. The series.is a fictional reimagining of mankind's protohistory as recorded by our original historians -- Moses, Hesiod, Plato, and ancient Egyptian Priests. The series chronicle the lives of the people who inspired our myths and traditions. The narrative is unbroken as new protagonists and antagonists replace those who die. The books become more complex with ever-growing conflict. The series contains elements of science fiction.
For 200,000 years hunters hunted, gatherers gathered, they sometimes mated. Then something happened -- Civilization began.
Scientific, political, and religious thought had to evolve as did sexual mores and attitudes. New organizational systems were required. And gods took on lives of their own. To understand why we are the way we are, we must first understand how we began. This is my offering. Let those wiser tell it truer.
