Where did the Egyptian goddess Isis rule?

Answer 1

Isis was an ancient Egyptian goddess. She was the wife (and sister) of Osiris and the mother of Horus and was worshipped as the archetypal wife and mother. Since each pharaoh was considered the "living Horus," Isis was very important. Isis was often shown holding Horus on her lap. She was associated with thrones because her lap was the first "throne" that Horus sat upon, and she was depicted wearing a headdress in the shape of a throne. She was also depicted wearing a headdress with a pair of horns and a sun disc.

She used powerful magic spells to help people in need. Temples were built to honor Isis at Philae and Pompeii. The one in Philae still stands, and the one in Pompeii lays in ruins but was preserved in ash and pumice after the volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Answer 2

Wife of Osiris, mother of Horus, sister of Ste and Nephthys. Daughter of Nuit, the goddess of the Overarching Sky, and Geb, god of the Earth. Her name translated to " throne". Isis's true name is Auset. It is pronounced "Isis" by the Greeks, and this is the name known today. She was the first Egyptian goddess born on earth and on the first day between the years first creation. Isis has been known as the goddess of women and children and the mother of all living things at the Ptolemaic Period. She traveled around Egypt teaching women the skills of weaving, cooking and raising children. She also helped during the process of child birth. Isis was traveling when she heard that her beloved husband Osiris was dead. She was horrified when she learned that her brother Set had murdered him. Here Isis is known in her role as the mourning wife. Mimicking Isis was an important ritual for many woman whose husband had died. She wandered the country in search of the body of Osiris while pulling out her hair, throwing dirt on herself and beating her chest. These gestures became the classic signs of feminine mourning in ancient Egypt. Once she found the corpse of her husband she began working her magic to revive him. Isis managed to restore enough life to Osiris to conceive Horus. Soon after that set got the word that Osiris was no longer dead and this made him quite angry. He tracked him down and cut his body into 14 pieces and threw them into the Nile. Upon hearing the news, Isis was once again thrown into a state of mourning. She, along with Nephthys and Anubis, traveled up and down the Nile in search of the pieces of Osiris. Isis asked Thoth for his assistance in resurrecting Osiris. He taught Isis the process of mummification. This process insured the decease a life after death and in the case of Osiris, it secured him the position of King of the Underworld. Isis was gratefully saddened by the death of her true love, but she was consoled by two things 1) Osiris lived again in the Underworld, 2) She was pregnant with Horus. Isis was told by Thoth that Horus would avenge his father's death and become the rightful heir of his kingdom. Wife of Osiris, mother of Horus, sister of Ste and Nephthys.
