The battle between Osiris and Set is one of the most pivotal and dramatic myths in ancient Kemetic mythology, symbolizing the eternal struggle between order and chaos.

Ausar

Ausar, a central figure in Kemetic mythology, is the god of the afterlife, resurrection, and fertility. He is often depicted as a mummified king with green skin, symbolizing rebirth and vegetation. Ausar was beloved and revered by the Kemetic people for bringing civilization, agriculture, and culture to humanity. He ruled Kemet as a wise and just king, bringing prosperity and order.

Set

Set, also known as Seth, is the god of chaos, violence, deserts, and storms. He is usually depicted with the head of a mysterious and unique animal, sometimes referred to as the Set animal, which has features of various creatures. Set represents disorder and destruction and was often seen as the antithesis of Ausar.

The Battle

The myth of Ausar and Set is a tale of betrayal, death, and eventual resurrection:

• Betrayal and Murder:

  • Jealous of Ausar's popularity and power, Set conspires to overthrow him. He devises a plan to kill Ausar by tricking him into lying in a beautifully crafted chest, which Set then seals and throws into the Nile River.
  • Ausar's wife, Auset, and his sister, Nebt-Het, mourn his death and search for his body. Auset eventually finds Ausar's body and, using her magical abilities, temporarily brings him back to life to conceive their son, Horus.
