Osiris

Appearance:

*A mummified man wearing a white cone-like headdress with feathers

Osiris was the god of the dead, and ruler of the underworld.

As well as being a god of the dead, Osiris was a god of resurrection and fertility. In fact, the ancient Egyptians believed that Osiris gave them the gift of barley, one of their most important crops.

A large temple was built to honour Osiris at Abydos.
