The story of Osiris is a popular myth that tells the story of mummification.
Osiris was once a great Pharaoh in Egypt, Toqether with his wife Seth.
When seth found Osiris' body he cut it into many pieces and scattered to the four corners of the earth.
Isis worked hard to find all the pieces and, when she had found them all she burned Osiris' body.
Ancient Egyptian people kept figures of their gods to honour them.
