Are you an Egyptian god or goddess? (cool pics)
You are Osiris. A god of the earth and vegetation, Osiris symbolized in his death the yearly drought and in his miraculous rebirth the periodic flooding of the Nile and the growth of grain. He was a god-king who was believed to have given Egypt civilization.

I'm too old to have heroes, aren't I? The closest I can come is the countless brilliant scholars who have worked so hard to help us to understand our ancient past and the great civilizations which preceded us in the distant past.

About me: Thanks for stopping by my page. I am a graphic designer by trade, but my true love is the study of ancient Egypt.
