Isis was the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus.  Osiris was killed, and Isis resurrected him.\n\nStart with info at wikipedia.  There should be plenty of books at the library about her.

seems like you would have no problem finding this (as this information is prolific on the net) if you were really studying Egyptology. Given the scope of your question, I would say go to worldbook online and start there, like I tell my 6th grade students to do.

You may find the information listed below regarding a recent discovery of a female figure  interesting.  It suggests that women may have had a high rank within Mayan society.\n\nI hope this helps!\n\n-Tom

&*&*&\nI HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.  GOOD LUCK!!!\n\n\nhttp://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/animalgods.htm\n\nAnimals and the Gods of Ancient Egypt\nby Caroline Seawright\n\nEgyptian towns usually had their own local sacred animal. It was thought that some gods and goddesses represented themselves on earth in the form of a single representative of a specific species, and honoring that species of animal would please the god or goddess associated with the animal. The animal believed to be the incarnation of the god or goddess lived a pampered life in and near the temples and religious centers.\n\nBaboon y`n baboon determinative y`n - The dog-headed baboon was one of the manifestations of both Thoth, god of writing, and Khonsu, the youthful moon god. Both deities were related to the moon. Hapy, the son of Horus who guarded the canopic jars that held the lungs, had the head of a baboon. There was also a baboon god in the Early Dynastic period named Hedjwer, 'The Great White One', who became closely linked with Thoth. Sometimes Thoth was shown in baboon form, perched on top of the scales of judgement in the underworld.\n\nBast, Egyptian Cat Goddess Cat myywcat determinative myw - Many deities were depicted as cats, both domestic or wild, and so they were seen as benevolent, sacred animals. Bast, originally a desert cat, was later depicted as a domestic cat. Ra was shown as 'The Great Cat of Heliopolis' who defeated Apep in 'The Book of the Dead'.\n\nCattle mnnmnntcattle determinative mnmnt - Hathor, Isis, Nut and Bat were three goddesses who were often depicted as cows, with the horns of cows or with the ears of cows. Because of this, and because of the relationship of the pharaoh as a living god, the cow came to symbolize the mother of the pharaoh. The cow was also a solar icon, where Nut carried the sun across the sky on her back, when she was in cow form. The cow was linked to female fertility and to the mother of the pharaoh. Osiris was related to the bull - the Apis bull, after death, became Osiris-Apis. While it was still alive, the Apis bull was seen as the Ba of Ptah, mummified god of creation. The Mnevis bull was regarded as the Ba of Ra-Atum. The bull, therefor, was linked to masculinity and the pharaoh.\n\nWadjet in her Human-headed Cobra Form Cobra djtcobra in a basket determinative djt - The cobra was sacred to Wadjet, the cobra goddess of Buto, who represented Lower Egypt and kingship. The cobra goddess Renenet was a fertility goddess who was sometimes depicted as nursing children and as protector of pharaoh. Another cobra goddess was Meretseger, 'she who loves silence', who could punish criminals with blindness or her venom.\n\nCrocodile mshcrocodile determinative msh - Ammut, the demoness at the judgement hall, had the head of a crocodile along with other fearful creatures, and was known as 'the devourer of the dead' who punished evildoers by eating their hearts. The god of the Athribis region, the solar god Horus Khenty-Khenty, was sometimes shown as a crocodile. But the crocodile was also sacred to Sobek, who was portrayed as a human with the head of a crocodile, or as the crocodile itself. The temples of Sobek usually had sacred lakes where crocodiles were fed and cared for. The hippo goddess of childbirth, Taweret, was thought to have the back and tail of a crocodile, or was shown with a crocodile perched on her back.\n\nFalcon / Hawk bykfalcon with a flagellum determinative byk - The sacred bird of the falcon-headed solar god Horus, it was also regarded as his Ba. The falcon was a bird that had protective powers, and was frequently linked with royalty, where it was depicted as hovering over the head of the pharaoh, with outstretched wings. The falcon was also sacred to Montu, god of war, and Sokar, god of the Memphite necropolis. The bird of prey was sometimes associated with Hathor, 'The House of Horus'. The son of Horus, Qebehsenuef who guarded the canopic jar of t

You can find out more about ancient Egyptian mythology by reading "Ancient Egyptian Myths and Legends," by Lewis Spence - available at Amazon.com for as low as $5.74; "Egyptian Mythology: A Guide to the Gods, Goddesses, and Traditions of Ancient Egypt," by Geraldine Pinch - also available at Amazon.com for as low as $12.22; and "The Egyptian Book of the Dead," also available at Amazon.com but a bit more expensive because it includes numerous color photos of ancient papyri from the original funerary scrolls.  FYI:  I'm a writer, musician, and journalist, but I do not work for Amazon.com  Their website is simply an excellent source for books and music.

I'm Asatru.  Have been for years.  I'd recommend the following sites:\n\nThe Asatru U Beginner's Course at http://www.asatru-u.org/beginner/asau-beginner-outline.htm   A lot of the links are out of date, but the rest have some good basic information on basic concepts.\n\nErich's Hall at http://www.erichshall.com/  Erich is a knowledgeable, charismatic heathen who is able to explain things concisely but accurately.  In particular, read his brief essay "What is Asatru?" at http://www.erichshall.com/whatis.htm\n\nThe Beliefnet Asatru Community's Intro & Resources Thread at http://www.beliefnet.com/boards/message_list.asp?boardID=4681&discussionID=302252 has a number of links to useful and informative sites.\n\nI'd recommend staying away from Wikipedia;  there's been an editing war going on there for at least a year between people (including one guy who absolutely hates the religion) who have some very different ideas on what Asatru is, and they keep deleting and modifying each others' writing.\n\nThere are a number of sites out there with faulty or poorly researched information;  when possible, be sure to check the sources for any strange or brazen statements made on a site.  Generally, the false information either Wicca-fies Asatru or tries to make it "the religion of white supremacists" (since some morons think Germanic = Nazi).  They're usually pretty easy to spot because they'll devote pages and pages to lost peoples of Atlantis or the glory of the Aryan race or some such silliness, but occasionally they're more subtle.\n\nGood luck.

There's not terribly much out there on the web.  This is what I could find:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=chibcha+%28religion%2C+god%2C+goddess%2C+myth%2C+mythology%2C+folklore%2C+folktales%29&btnG=Search\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=muisca+%28religion%2C+god%2C+goddess%2C+myth%2C+mythology%2C+folklore%2C+folktales%29&btnG=Search\n\nThis book is out-of-print, but there seems to be one used available on Amazon: \n"Some folk-tales of the Chibcha Nation" by Malbone W Graham\n\nThere are more (also out-of-print) books listed at Amazon if you search for "Chibcha" or "Muisca," but they are all in Spanish.

I did a little research for you:\n\nhttp://www.egyptianmyths.net/osiris.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris\nhttp://sobek.colorado.edu/LAB/GODS/osiris.html\n\nOsiris, the Greeks called him Pluto or Dionysus. He was a nature god and a king, the universal lord. According to tradition he abolished cannibalism, taught the solar religion, taught men to produce grainetc., built temples with fin images and laid down strict religious laws. He also built towns, gave man civilization and invented two kinds of flute to accompany ceremonial songs. \n\nHe was always accompanied on his travels by his grand vizier, Thoth, and his nephew (or some say his son), Anubis. Isis was his wife and Horus his son. Osiris is always depicted witha greenish face and dressed in white. He carries a crook and a flail, the insignia of order and discipline, and is sometimes shown seated on a throne, surrounded by water which grows the primordial lotus. His symbol is the Djed, or tet, a stylized tree.\n\nOsiris and his sister/wife, Isis, ruled over the lands later called Egypt. They were both divinities from Heaven(?) who had decended to Earth to aid in the development of mankind. Osiris had a brother Set (likened to the Greek Typhon), and the two brothers dwelt amicably with their wives, Isis and Nephthys, in Abydos. Osiris was much loved by the people, having taught them the arts civilization; he promoted piety, good health and well-being amongst them.\n\nWhile travelling to visit south-east Asia (some accounts state India) with his wife, Osiris was suddenly summoned by his brother to return. During his absence Set had conspired with seventy-two otherswho arranged a banquet to celebrate the King's homecoming. As part of the entertainment a strange box was introduced and, one after the other, the guests tried to fit into it. Only Osiris was able to slide comfortably inside, upon which move the conspiritors shut and sealed the lid. We are told that Osiris entered this box or tomb on 7 Athyr (13 November), the very day and month when Noah was surposed to have boarded the biblical ark. The box was then thrown int the Nile (or some accounts the sea), and carried onwards by the inundation. Eventually it was caught up in a tamarisk tree.\n\nIsis, who had been visiting Chemmis, received news of what had occured. She hastily sumoned her nephew Anubis, and set out to seek for her husbands body. At Byblus she found the tree,but it was guarded by a magical power and she could not approach the coffin. As she watched, the King of Byblus came looking for a tree to serve a a column for his palace. He selected the very one that held Osiris. In vain did Isis, in her form of a dove, utter plantive cries to dissuade the men from cutting it down, so she resumed her womanly appearance and went to the palace where she became nurse to the Queen's child. \n\nBy ingratiating herself with her employers Isis was able to match the evil magic of Set and secure the coffin. But her troubles were far from over.Set heard about her deeds and artfully stole the box while she slept. He open the coffin and cut the body of Osiris into fourteen pieces, dispersing them in various places. Isis then had the task of seeking each piece. With her sister Nephyhys and her nephew Anubis she travelled far and wide until she had located every piece except the phallus. This had been eated by a oxyrhyncus (although some may say a spider). She then made a phallic likeness from wood and brought the whole body to Abydos for burial. Together with Nephthys, her sister, Anubis, her nephew, and Thoth, her uncle, Isis wept bitterly over her dead husband and chanted magically. So powerful were her tears and prayers and the occult powers of Thoth, that one member of Osiris began to evidence vitality and secured conception for the faithful wife. Osiris then ascended to Heaven from which sublime place he continued to watch over Isis while she carried and bore his only son, Horus.\n\nThis is a copy of my previo

http://muhammadanism.org/Quran/SatanicVerses.htm\n\nHere is a link. \n\nThe goddess bit fits because of the word Alilah being the moon god of the pagans at the time, and she had 3 daughters as well.\n\n\nThe connection between the pagan god and "allah" is undeniable. The similarities are too overwhelming, especially since Muhammed was a pagan as a child.
