Mummies

A mummy is the body of a person (or an animal) that has been preserved after death. Their organs (apart from the heart) are removed and placed in canopic jars. The bodies then go through a 70-day process before being wrapped in linen bandages.

Is the tomb of osiris real?

I've studied ancient Egypt for a fraction of my life, and have grown intrigued with the matter entirely. Wether the tomb of Osiris is real is debateable. You see, based on my knowledge, the tomb of Osiris is supposedly located on Biga Island in southern Egypt, just south west of the temple of Isis. This is logical considering Isis and Osiris were spouses and had a son name of Horus. Unfortunately, the tale of the Tomb may be submerged underwater as a result of the construction of the Aswan Dam. This dam may have flooded most of the island. It is a mystery if the island, or better yet, the entire tomb is still there, perhaps even a fragment.

Also, some fascinating legend behind Osiris goes some what like this: Osiris was one of the great Pharaoh's of Egypt in history, of both upper and lower Egypt (he wore the crown with white and red, expressing the unitement of upper and lower Egypt). He ruled Egypt greatly with his wife Isis. Isis had long golden wings, and Osiris was of what looked to be just an ordinary Pharaoh. They had a son, name of Horus with the face of a Falcon. Finally after many years of ruling, Osiris's greedy brother, Seth, or better known as Set, not to be confused with Seti, grew eager to take control of Egypt. He then, with preceeding planning, assassinated his brother. Set chopped up the body into many pieces (some say 13, some say 26, it's debateable) and scattered the pieces among the vast deserts of Egypt. Isis mourned his death, and was enraged. To avenge his death, she gathered the pieces of the body. This took many years. In the mean time, the high priests found guilt in Seth's story, and Horus became the Pharoh of Egypt in his Father's place. After all the pieces were gathered, she wrapped them to form the first mummy of Egypt. She placed them in the, "Holy mound," commonly known as the small Biga Island. She formed the temple there. Horus lead the Empire strong, as eventually, Isis died, and requested a temple near the island, although the architects and builders were unsure why. Since then, Osiris was the great ruler of the living and dead, the God of the underworld known as Duat.

Do canopic jars exist in any cultures today?

A brief review of canopic jars for causal readers:

Canopic jars were used by the Ancient Egyptians during the mummification process to store and preserve the viscera of their dear departed for the afterlife. You needed all your "bits" to enjoy the afterlife.

In today's world some people look forward to a resurrection in the flesh through advances in cloning, the defeat of all disease, the reanimation of bodies and other technologies. As consequence some folks preserve tissue samples, liquid nitrogen freeze their whole bodies (or just the heads) against this future need. As a consequence these techniques and their equipment are the successor and descendants of canopic jars.
