Osirian Legend of Egypt

The Osirian legend of Egypt relegated 70 nights during a 365 day length of year that the star, Sirius, went below the horizon. The annual helical rising coincided with the flood of the Nile, thus serving to preserve Egyptian mythology. Expanding the folklore accord of the ancient Egyptians, Sirius would be invisible for 70 years out of a 365 year solar cycle having 365 days per year, or a "year of years." Similar to the primary 70 year age of Cainan, this situation employs a 70 days and years single term during the 365 days and years single term of the Egyptian Calendar. Sustaining ideas of dividing daylight from darkness, and lunar from solar separation times in equal, but opposite portions underlines a theology that divides the annual duration of invisibility for the "Dog Star," Sirius. The annual 70 days of hidden time would be divided into two halves of 35 days each (Eqn. 55). By the same token, 70 years can also be separated into equal halves of 35 years each (Eqn. 56). Each 35 day half of concealment in 70 days, directly symbolizes 35 days omitted after a 365 day length of solar year within a 400 day period. Again, the same 35 years are outstanding with a 365 year cycle, to represent 35 years less than 400 years in the Long Count. Identical patterns are repeated when dual 400 day and 400 year terms are considered.

A given 800 year Generation Cycle doubles 70 years of invisibility for 140 years (Eqn. 57). Halving 140 years in the same vein of halving other, Patriarchal calendar times, provides 70 years. Matching 70 Sacred Years with 70 years of absent viewing time leaves 730 years within the 800 year Generation Cycle. 1,600 years result from two 800 year Generation Cycles. The 365 days and years single term is quadrupled to reach the 1,461 year Sothic Cycle (Ages of Adam). The antiray concept of Osirian lore in the Sothic Cycle 1,461 years divides 140 years of Osirian disappearance time on four occasions by 35 years between four periods (Eqn. 58). A remaining 35 days, or 35 years in a single term can be subtracted from 400 days and 400 years, respectively as a single term (Eqn. 59 and Eqn. 60). Two Generation Cycles with 1,600 years, and the factored 1,600 sacred years, are divided by Osirian lore. Altogether, 1,461 years include four 365 year solar cycles.

Abstract traces in ancient mythology supplement the anthropology of past culture. Clever screening of stories retold and rewritten many times over avail historians to discern the more important pieces that still survive. Architecture and other physical relics discovered are elements of the bygone days, and when substantiated with customs and folk lore, a clearer understanding of former society is secured. In libraries and museums, appreciation for the shoulders forgotten preserves their heritage, and hopefully the future will conserve those days and things shared today. Egyptian mythology and religion were insistent upon the calendar mathematics of the empire.

In prehistorical Egypt, Osiris and his wife or sister, Isis, ruled over the lands. Both divinities joined Earth to assist the development of mankind. Osiris had a son/brother named Seth, or Set. The brothers dwelt at the ancient city of Abydos, together with their wives, Isis and Nephthys. Osiris was adored by the people, supporting the needs of civilization, good health, and welfare. Osiris was summoned to return while visiting Asia with Isis. Set, and seventy-two others plotted against Osiris during his absence. A homecoming festival was arranged as part of the conspiracy. We are told by the myth a strange box was introduced. One by one, all the guests tried to fit into the box. Osiris was last and the only participant able to ease himself into the box. The conspirators suddenly shut and sealed the lid on the box. The tomb was thrown into the Nile river, or sea, and was carried northwards. Eventually the box rested in a tamarisk tree. Isis and her nephew, Anubis, set out to find her husband's body. They found the tree at Byblus, but it was guarded by the magical power of Seth and she could not approach the coffin.

About this time, the King of Byblus came looking for a tree to serve as a column for his palace. Isis assumed the form of a dove and watched.Selecting the same tree that held Osiris, Isis in vain, attempted to deter the men from cutting the tree down. Undaunted, Isis resumed her womanly role and followed the King to the palace to become nurse for the queen's child.

Isis finally recovered the coffin to once again confront Seth's magical practices. Seth stole the box away from her and cut the body of Osiris into fourteen pieces. Seth scattered the pieces, forcing Isis to look again for Osiris. Isis searched far and wide until she had located every piece except the phallus. She then made a wooden figurine to represent the phallus, and transported the body back to Abydos for burial. Isis wept and chanted prayers for her dead mate. Her tears and prayers were so powerful that one part of Osiris revived enough to obtain conception for his wife. Osiris then ascended to heaven and observed Isis while she carried and bore his only son, Horus. Some texts claim Horus was a reincarnation of his father. Other versions say that Horus was conceived while Isis and Osiris were still unborn in their mother's womb. Set knew that Horus would grow up to avenge his father. Horus grew to maturity and after a great contest, returned the throne to Isis. She however, refused rulership and opted to return to heaven; joining herself to the spirit of her dead husband. She abdicated and Horus succeeded the throne which satisfied everybody.

Set, or Seth, was personified to be the Egyptian devil, and the spiritual emblem of adversity. Set portrays an evil disguise as the serpent Typhon. Seth stands for the destructive antiray that opposes the powers of light. Seth (Typhon) is the archetype of the sun god, Ra. The thinking behind dualities of light versus darkness is noticeable for Seth in this fragment of Egyptian mythology.

Seth represents a polarization of common spiritual influences. Interesting are the ties to column references at Byblus, and Isis performing roles of a dove and the queen's nurse. The Ark of Noah, and the "ark of the bulrushes" (papyrus) that the infant Moses was discovered in share traits with this legend (Exodus 2:3). The seventy-third try to fit the box by Osiris after seventy-two other attempts reveals affinity of a deified King setting aside the last sacred year of a Calendar Round.

Each 800 year Generation Cycle in the secondary age category was made up of two 400 year Long Counts. A completed 800 year Generation Cycle evolved the Patriarch character ages from Adam through Jared. The first Generation Cycle of 800 years for Adam was doubled by Seth to reach 1600 years. The next secondary 800 years held place value for Enos and brought the total summation to 2,400 years. Cainan, as second derivitive solar side time split, adds another 800 year Generation Cycle to reach 3,200 years in the secondary age category.

In the primary age category, Enos reached one and a half routines of 130 years. The second 130 year period was split as 180 sacred years for 90 sacred years of Enos, and 65 years more are found in the primary 65 year age of Mahalaleel. The next Generation Cycle returned to solar side separation time for Cainan. The primary 105 year age of Seth was doubled for 210 years by finishing the primary 90 sacred year age of Enos. At the third generation after Adam, Seth had 210 years and the next even generation of Cainan was reached. Dual results of 70 sacred years of 260 days per sacred year, and 70 years of 360 days per year are both seen in the given primary age of Cainan. The next primary age level for the generation of Mahalaleel completes the 260 year sacred cycle. Resemblance to 70 years of omitted visibility for Sirius during 365 years permits doubling 365 years to 730 years of an 800 year Generation Cycle.

The Genesis sequence of chronology was a component of Egyptian mythology. The solar side 70 year half of 140 years, is at the heart of Osirian lore and the innermost sanctum of the temple. Both 69.2 sacred years, or 70.2 sacred years, were calculated and approximated to be the primary 70 sacred year age of Cainan. Seth and Cainan together provide luni-solar calculations that are fundamental to a Sothic Cycle of 1,461 years. Secondary ages are foundational from 800 year Generation Cycles. Days and years share numerical matching themes throughout the six recorded luni-solar divisions from Adam to Jared. The ancient calendar of Osiris was embedded into Egyptian mythology, and Judeo-Christian Biblical records thousands of years prior to the great flood of Noah.
