Episode 09 of Myths, Mysteries and Mysticism (1996), titled The Myth of Osiris, directed by Roel Oostra, explores the ancient Egyptian myth of Osiris, a central figure in Egyptian mythology. The episode delves into the story of Osiris, the god-king murdered by his brother Set, who usurps his throne. Osiris’s wife, Isis, restores his body, enabling the posthumous conception of their son, Horus. The narrative follows Horus’s conflict with Set, culminating in Horus’s triumph, which restores cosmic order (maat) and completes Osiris’s resurrection as ruler of the Duat, the realm of the dead. Featuring insights from experts, the episode connects the myth to Egyptian concepts of kingship, the afterlife, and the construction of the Great Pyramids, particularly through the work of author Robert Bauval, who links the Osiris myth to the pyramids’ astronomical significance.
