Summary
The Egyptians were a visionary people. They had Seers, what they called "Peter" in Egyptian. What scholars refer to as myths are in reality prophesies and therefore can be referred to as scripture.
One such prophesy has to do with the Egyptian god Osiris. The Greek historian Plutarch wrote about the death of Osiris beyond what the Egyptian texts do. In his account Osiris was the king of Egypt.
The story is at least as old as the Pyramid Texts of ancient Egypt dating back to the 24th century BCE. It has no hieroglyphic picture to accompany the text. It is just text. And yet it can be translated according to the different levels similar to the other hieroglyphs in my Egyptian Scripture series. This story is among the most important to the Egyptian people.
Travis Wayne Goodsell retells the story, then makes a translation of each level for each of the key features of the story, then finishes with a scriptural translation based on the level translations.
