THE MYTHOLOGY OF OSIRIS
The king Demi-god
By Samson Stanislavski, Phd,

European civilization and religion originate from Egypt, especially from the story of Osiris. Osiris has many explanations where the west Hellenised his name from :As-Ar.
Europeans changed the original, Egyptian name from “As Ari” to “OSIRIS”. During long history, scribes read the script from left to right, top to bottom and that’s why many of the names changed form, pronunciation and meaning.
Osiris in its original form means Ka-Ra, the all powerful Ra, the sun’s spirit and power. Some historians claim that Osiris is synonymous with Ocharis, all seeing god. That is closer to the Macedonian word, ochi, ochari many eyes or all seeing eyes. Since Osiris is equated with omniscience, here we give the story, how he wanted to civilize the world and export his knowledge and technology to less advanced people.
And so begins the story which also includes Macedonia in this plan and the origin of the word Macedonia.
This text is taken from the book “Osiris And The Egyptian Resurrection” by E. A. Wallis Budge, in two volumes, Vol I, pages 10-11. First time published 1973, Dover publications, New York, USA.
“Osiris was greatly devoted to agriculture. He was brought up in Nysa, a town of Arabia Felix, where he discovered the use of the wine. He was the first to drink wine. He held Hermes, in Egyptian Thoth in high honour, because of his ingenuity and power of quick intention. Hermes taught men to speak distinctly, he gave names to things that had none before, he invented letters, and instituted the worship of the gods, he invented arithmetic, music, and sculpture, and formulated a system of astronomy. He was the confidential scribe of Osiris, who invariably accepted his advice on all matters
Osiris’s Missions
“Osiris raised a large army ,and determined to go about the world teaching mankind to plant vines and to sow wheat and committed the government of his whole kingdom to Isis , and gave her as an assistant Hermes, his trusted scribe who excelled all others in wisdom and prudence. Osiris took with him Apollo, in Egyptian Horus, Anubis who wore a dog’s skin, Macedon who wore a wolf’s skin, Pan, in Egyptian Menu, and various other skilful husbandmen.
As he marched through Ethiopia, a company of satyrs was presented to him; he was fond of music and dancing and therefore added them to the body of musicians and singers, both male and female, who were in his train. Having taught the Ethiopians the arts of tillage and husbandry, he built several cities in their country and appointed governors over them, and then continued his journey.
On the borders of Ethiopia he raised the river banks, and took precautions to prevent the river Nile from overflowing the neighbouring country and turning it into a marsh, and he built canals with flood gates and regulators. He then traveled by way of the coast of Arabia into India, where he built many cities, including Nysa, in which he planted the ivy plant. He took part in several elephant hunts, and journeying westwards he brought his army through the Hellespont to Europe. In Thrace he killed Lycurgos, a barbarian king, who refused to adopt his system of government. Osiris became a benefactor of the whole world by finding out food which was suitable for mankind and after Osiris’s death, he gained the reward of immortality, and was honoured as god.”
The entire story above was taught to Alexander the Great by Aristotle, and there is nothing Greek in all this narration. Alexander The Great in his intention to conquer the then civilized world was to establish a universal kingdom like Osiris, whom he thought was his father at least spiritually.
The above story deserves some comments from the Macedonian point of view, as Macedonia was on the radar of Osiris’s plans, likewise St. Paul of the Bible of the Christian New Testament where he began the work of establishing a world Christian kingdom and Macedonia became one of this foundation’s stones.
Macedon, one of Osiris’s apostles was appointed as governor of the land called Macedonia and in Macedonia was established the first monotheistic kingdom whose ruler was the Egyptian king Akhnaton, the worshipper of the single god Aton. The cult of Aton is still alive in the holy mountain Aton, in Aegean Macedonia, which became the holy Mountain of the Christians similar to Mecca of the Muslim world.
