They prayed to the god Osiris who although was usually called the god of the Afterlife, was at the same time, related to the Egyptian agricultural cycle, in which crops grew in the wake of the Nile inundation. Osiris was not only a merciful judge of the dead in the afterlife, but also the underworld agency that granted all life, including sprouting vegetation and the fertile flooding of the Nile River. Because of his death and resurrection, Osiris is associated with the flooding and retreating of the Nile and thus with the crops along the Nile valley.
