Osiris, god of the deceased, was the son and oldest child of Geb, the Earth deity and Nut, the sky goddess. His wife and sister was Isis, goddess of motherhood, magic, fertility, death, healing, and rebirth. It was said that Osiris and Isis were deeply in love with each other, even in the tomb. In the New Kingdom, Osiris was considered the master of the underground world, the next world – the Afterlife.

The root origins of the Egyptian goddess Isis have been traced by historians all the way back to the Osiris myth of the Old Kingdom in ancient Egypt, which was one of their most important, foundational stories.According to the myth, Osiris and his wife Isis were the first rulers of the world. Together, they taught the wayward men and women of the world how to live a civilized and productive life. Unfortunately, Osiris’ jealous brother Set destroyed the life they had built together, by murdering Osiris, and casting his body into pieces across Egypt. Isis searched high and low, gathering all the fragments together and piecing him into a living man again.

The mummy of Hatshepsut was found in 1903 by Howard Carter in (KV60), in the Valley of the Kings. Carter had discovered two mummies in the tomb. One was in a coffin, the second was stretched out on the floor. Since the tomb had been ransacked in antiquity, Carter thought it of marginal interest and resealed it.
While assembling all unidentified mummies with their right arms placed across their chests as a royal posture for the Egyptian Mummy Project, some were studied with a CT-scan machine. At the same time a canopic box from the Deir el-Bahari Cachette (DB320) that was inscribed for Hatshepsut and contained her liver was also scanned.There was also a tooth inside, a molar with a root; and when examined it was found that it fitted exactly into the mouth of one of the royal women.
After analysis of Hatshepsut’s mummy, it was concluded that she had died at about the age of fifty, that she had been obese, and that she had diabetes and cancer. The box that contained the tooth is also on display near the mummy.

The celebrated temple of Hatshepsut (c.1473–1458 BC), the queen who became pharaoh, is located here, in Deir al-Bahari, on the west bank of Luxor. Composed of three man-made terraces that gradually rise up toward the sheer cliff face, this structure is truly a sight to behold.

The site of Deir al-Bahari was sacred to Hathor, the goddess who nursed and reared every king, including their mythological ancestor, the god Horus.
