Who is the Egyptian god of the afterlife and resurrection?

The story behind the answer

Osiris is the Egyptian god of the afterlife, resurrection, and renewal. After being murdered and dismembered by his brother Set, Osiris was reassembled and revived by his wife Isis, becoming ruler of the Duat (underworld) and judge of the dead. He’s often shown as a mummified king with green skin (symbolizing rebirth) holding the crook and flail. In the Weighing of the Heart, Anubis guides souls, Thoth records, but Osiris presides—underscoring his role in eternal life.

Remember: Osiris = “O, rise, us!”—the god who makes rising again possible. Contrast the options: Anubis is embalming and guidance, Horus is kingship and the sky
