Osiris is the God of the Underworld. The myth of Osiris is the main reason why he is famous. It is said that he was murdered by his brother Seth. He cut him into pieces before hiding them in 14 different locations. Osiris' wife Isis discovered the pieces and put them together to make the first mummy.
