Osiris becomes king of egypt.

Seth created wooden chest to Osiris's measurements. Who ever fit would get the box. When Osiris tried the box it sealed and cast into the river.  Ended up in a tree which was cut for a palace pillar. Isis went for the pillar and after playing demeter got it from the king. Her wailing over the coffin killed the youngest prince, eldest went with her on a boat with the coffin, died of fright after being caught looking in coffin. Isis went to care for Horus with the coffin in hideing. Seth find coffin and cuts body into 14 pieces. Myth brances with either Isis finds each piece and builds a shrine there or gathers the pieces (expect phallis) and with magic makes him whole so he can rule the underworld.

Carved block used to heal poisonings. Lots of carving feturing different stories.

carving of the young Horus surrounded by gods.

(front and base)

Horus is poisoned by a scorpion while Isis is out. She calls for help village wise woman identifies poison.  She calls upon the sungod to stop his barge until her son has been saved. Thoth is sent down with the magic words to save Horus.

Another version of poison tale from Stela.

Ra is an old man and Isis wants to have power over him to help her son (protect him from seth).

Creates a scorpion with dirt, magic, and Ra's spit. (normal animals don't hurt him)

Scorpion bites him and Isis won't heal him until he gives her his name (name is power like Rumple.)

He gives her his name and she removes the poison with a prayer that could be used by the egyptions for poison help.

Not sure if real or fiction (nothing really magical happens, one of first cases of non-religious text)

Exact date of starting (death of king Sehetepibre, 30 years into reign) Crown prince, Sesostris, is out with military when it happened so has to return to egypt to complete rights.

Sinuhe heard younger brother's ploting against prince and fled country incase they succeded. Journey south then northeast to kingdom, Yaa, that would become syria. Local king liked egypt so had Sinuhe marry his daughter. Years pass he becomes succesful and has sons when royal envoy arriaves from egypt to find out why he is there. Younger brothers did not kill oldest. Sinuhe is welcomed back by king and gets proper egyption burial.

tale within a tale (officer telling commander about time he was shipwrecked)

ends up on island with magic talking snake (face like tut mask) snake looks into future and says he will be rescued and receive proper burial at death. Man cannot come back and thank snake because the island will disapear after he leaves. Officer got promotion from telling king story. Commander still worried.

Southern egypt king in servatude to northern king.

Northern king evil (adopts seth as main god, similar god in his native land, and gives tributes like they do for Ra)

Southern king gets message saying they have to keep hippos quiet because noise is keeping northerners awake. Story ends with southern king calling officals.

History says that war broke out around this time. (start towards new kingdom)
