Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Veils of Isis: And Other Stories Toward the end of the second dynasty a youth whom his father and mother had named Amanthes came to manhood near the village of Assouan on the Nile. From childhood on he had been self-willed and passionate beyond the ordinary, and growing in boldness and intelligence he took the lead of the other young men. Because of his superiority his father and mother, though poor cultivators, were persuaded to devote him to the priesthood. And as the young man was nothing loath they took him one day to the Temple of Osiris. The Chief Priest received them with kindness, for the youth´s promise had been noised abroad and he spoke to them warmly in favor of the God whom he worshiped and His divine mission: he told them how Osiris had come down from Heaven to help men and had suffered Death for their sakes through the Powers of Darkness. With tears in his eyes he told of the resurrection of the God and how at the last He should judge the dead.
