Explanation:

Osiris, also named Usir, one of the most significant gods of early Egypt. The beginning of Osiris is unknown, he was a local god of Busiris, in Lower Egypt, and may have been a representation of chthonic productivity. By about 2400 BCE, however, Osiris certainly performed a double role, he was both a god of productivity and the representation of the dead and resurrected king. This dual role was in turn connected with the Egyptian theory of spiritual kingship the king at death became Osiris, god of the underworld and the dead king’s son, the living king, was known with Horus, a god of the sky. Osiris and Horus were thus father and son.
