The Story of Re

This is the story of the water called "Nun" and the great shining egg called "Re." Re took the shape of a man and became the first Pharaoh, ruling for thousands of years.

But as he grew older, people laughed at him and no longer obeyed this rules, so Re had a daughter who he sent out to slay those who had disobeyed him. After a while Re decided to take back his daughter's powers.

Re grew old but he found Isis, a magician, who was able to protect him from snakebite and who gave him peace.

Isis and Osiris

Osiris was a popular ruler who had an evil brother named Seth who created a custom coffin and convinced Osiris to get in. The sealed coffin was eventually found by Isis, Osiris' wife, under a tree; however, the body was no longer in the coffin since Seth had scattered the parts of Osiris throughout Egypt.

Isis was able to put Osiris back together and they had a son named Horus. Horus grew up and went out to battle to find Set and avenge the death of his father. Neither one won.

Osiris was declared king of the underworld, Horus was named king of the living and Set became ruler of the deserts and the god of chaos and evil.

The Prince and the Sphinx

The King of Egypt, Son of Ra, had many sons. His favorite was Thutmose; but, Thutmose was not designated to be the next King.

One day Thutmose came across the Great Sphinx which was covered in sand up to its neck. Thutmose sat down by the Great Sphinx and took a nap. While napping he dreamed that the Sphinx told Thutmose that he would be king if he uncovered the Great Sphinx.

When Thutmose woke up he remembered his dream and promised to uncover the Sphinx. He eventually became the King of Egypt.

Wow! don't you think that they are very creative?
