On the polychrome
coffin fragment the hieroglyphs look like a
standard offering format that harkened back to earlier times. I think it's quite a
bit earlier than 332 BC, same with
OsirisNehebkau (also spelled Nehebu-Kau) is the primordial
snake god in ancient
Egyptian mythology. Although originally considered an evil spirit, he later functions as a funerary god associated with the afterlife. As one of the forty-two assessors of Ma’at, Nehebkau was believed to judge the deceased after death and provide their souls with ka – the
part of the soul that distinguished the living from the dead.
Nehebkau was ultimately considered a powerful, benevolent and protective deity. In late
mythology, he is described as a companion of the sun god Re and an attendant of the deceased
King. As he is so closely associated with the sun god,
his name was evoked in magical spells for protection.
His festival was widely celebrated throughout the Middle and New Kingdoms.
Osiris (/oʊˈsaɪrɪs/, from
Egyptian wsjr, Coptic ⲟⲩⲥⲓⲣⲉ)[2][3] is the god of
fertility,
agriculture, the afterlife, the dead, resurrection, life, and vegetation in ancient
Egyptian religion. He was classically depicted as a green-skinned deity with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive atef crown, and holding a symbolic
crook and flail.[4] He was one of the first to be associated with the mummy wrap. When
his brother, Set, cut him up into pieces after killing him,
Isis,
his wife, found all the pieces and wrapped
his body up, enabling him to return to life.
Osiris was at times considered the eldest son of the earth god Geb[5] and the sky goddess Nut, as well as being brother and husband of
Isis, with Horus being considered
his posthumously begotten son.[5] In the Old Kingdom (2686 - 2181 BC) the pharaoh was considered a son of the sun god Ra who, after
his death, ascended to join Ra in the sky. With the spread of the
Osiris cult, however, there was a change in beliefs.[6] He was also associated with the epithet Khenti-Amentiu, meaning "Foremost of the Westerners", a reference to
his kingship in the land of the dead.[7] Through syncretism with Iah, he is also a god of the Moon.[8]
