What do you imagine if you think of Isis? I am Isis and I’m Egyptian god. My life was very interesting, exciting, and very nice. I was very popular in lots of people in Ancient Egypt.

I am sister and wife of Osiris and Hours is my son. My parents are Geb and Nut. I also have another brother called Seth and he was mean to us all the time. In one myth, Seth killed my brother Osiris and I had collected all his body parts to make him alive again. Since then, I became a protector of living and dead. The reason I live in Ancient Egypt near Nile River was that Osiris and I came down from heavens for human with gifts. I wasn’t very special and I was just like other god that time.

After I came from heavens, I helped people in many ways because that was our gifts for human. First, I showed them how to harvest and process grains. Then I showed them the laws, institution of marriage, and institution of how to worship the gods. I have also taught lots of women how to tame a man so those women can live with them. Since then, many people started to worship me.

From all of the thing I had showed to human, I became very popular. People said that I brought happiness to them and they started to worship me not just as a god, but as a godmother. I was invited to lots of garden parties and I became one of the important sources for Pharaoh, the ruler of Ancient Egypt’s power. I have even traveled to Rome. I also got some temples of me in Egypt and Nubia. Then I became most popular god and also a popular goddess from ancient Egyptian Mythology.

Since I helped lots of people on Earth and brought happiness to them, I became very famous and popular. Although I’m a god, I am still treated like real person and was very important to Ancient Egyptians. From all the mythologies and ledgens, I am worshiped by many people from Ancient time to today.
