Osiris and the Egyptian Resurrection, Vol. 1, Volume 1Osiris the king, was slain by his brother Set, dismembered, scattered, then gathered up and reconstituted by his wife Isis and finally placed in the underworld as lord and judge of the dead.

Osiris the king, was slain by his brother Set, dismembered, scattered, then gathered up and reconstituted by his wife Isis and finally placed in the underworld as lord and judge of the dead. He was worshipped in Egypt from archaic, pre-dynastic times right through the 4000-year span of classical Egyptian civilization up until the Christian era, and even today folkloristic elements of his worship survive among the Egyptian fellaheen. In this book E. A. Wallis Budge, one of the world's foremost Egyptologists, focuses on Osiris as the single most important Egyptian deity.This is the most thorough explanation ever offered of Osirism. With rigorous scholarship, going directly to numerous Egyptian texts, making use of the writings of Herodotus, Diodorus, Plutarch and other classical writers, and of more recent ethnographic research in the Sudan and other parts of Africa, Wallis Budge examines every detail of the cult of Osiris. At the same time he establishes a link between Osiris worship and African religions. He systematically investigates such topics as: the meaning of the name Osiris (in Egyptian, Asar); the iconography associated with him; the heaven of Osiris as conceived in the VIth dynasty; Osiris's relationship to cannibalism, human sacrifice and dancing; Osiris as ancestral spirit, judge of the dead, moon-god and bull-god; the general African belief in god; ideas of sin and purity in Osiris worship; the shrines, miracle play and mysteries of Osiris; The Book of Making the Spirit of Osiris and other liturgical texts; funeral and burial practices of the Egyptians and Africans; the idea of the Ka, spirit-body and shadow; magical practices relating to Osiris; and the worship of Osiris and Isis in foreign lands.
Throughout there are admirable translations of pyramid texts (often with the original hierogyphics printed directly above) and additional lengthy texts are included in the appendices. There are also a great many reproductions of classical Egyptian art, showing each phase of the Osiris story and other images bearing upon his worship. The great wealth of detail, primary informatioin, and original interpretation in this book will make it indispensable to Egyptologists, students of classical civilization and students of comparative religion. Since Osiris seems to have been the earliest death and resurrection god, whose worship both caused and influenced later dieties, the cult of Osiris is highly important to all concerned with the development of human culture.

Not worth it, not indestructible
Color: Auburn, Color: Auburn
I'm giving no stars, thought this toy would last longer than 10 mins with my dog. Guess not, it says indestructible in the details but as you can tell that's a total lie. Not worth the money at all.

Not for extremely aggressive chewers
Color: Auburn
I am sure this product is excellent for a small.puppy. I have a 8month huge German Shepard husky mix he had the arms and legs in shreds in less then 15 min and working on the body. If you have a large to extra large aggressive chewer this toy won't work for your dog. Other dogs yes 5 stars

Pups love this toy!
Color: Auburn
This is a great toy. I have two pups under the age of 2, a goldador (half lab/golden) and a full golden. Both are very aggressive when they play and love to chew. This is not a chew toy so if left as a chew, it will be chewed and destroyed. But my two play tug together with this toy and love playing tug with this toy. I give this a 4 star rating because it has been destroyed, basically because I left it down to long and one of them starting to chew it. I am planning to purchase another and another and another. :)
