Egyptians and the after life!

Yesterday Orange class, at Summerhill Academy, looked at the story of Moses, and what Egyptians believed about the after life. By the end of the day, we had created a clay version of the god of the underworld, Osiris.

Osiris is the Egyptian Lord of the Underworld and Judge of the Dead, brother-husband to Isis, and one of the most important gods of ancient Egypt. The name `Osiris’ is the Latinized form of the Egyptian Usir which is interpreted as ‘powerful’ or ‘mighty’.
