"The most decisive divine confrontation encountered in Egyptian religious thought is without doubt between Re and Osiris. As the principle representations of sky and earth, life and death, light and darkness, day and night, they constituted one another's necessary compliment. Without some form of union between them, the Egyptian world view would have been hopelessly divided and the rhythm of life broken." -Jan Bergman.
