I guess it all comes down to the books we read and extended reasearch done on myths! But it's all still good reading and other points of view, just feed our creative concepts... Thank you...Black_Breeze on March 26, 2005, 10:20:14 AM

Hmm. I read that Anubis was first the god of the underworld, but then gave the title to Osiris when he came in. I dunno, that's the version I always knew and kinda kept with! Besides, wasn't Horus his son, because of the magic Isis used to have Osiris alive for one night? You made Osiris look so powerful in here! Awsome!jira on February 23, 2005, 8:29:09 AM

We're both going by different sorce of references and where myths are concern I tend to go with the version I feel most comfortable with... Recommended reading "Gods and Goddesses" by Time-Life books...Daughter_of_Anubis on February 23, 2005, 5:23:59 AM
Anubis is actually the son of Seth and Nephthys, but was later adopted by Isis and Osiris. when Osiris died Anubis aided Isis and Nephthys in preserving his body. anyway nice picture. *adds to faves*jira on January 17, 2005, 7:45:56 AM

Thank you for your feed back! Despite my extensive research where the Myths are concern, I do know that all the stories may varied, but the interpretations I go with are the ones that intrique me the most!But isn't it great that we have so many myths versions from which to choose... Thank you for your in-put!
Thank you "awesumdude0121" that's really good to hear...
