Ancient Egyptians and the Constellations: Part 6 The Osiris Legend and the Tree of Life (the Axis Munde)
Osiris' wife Isis, who was also his sister, searched for and found the chest which had been borne down the Nile and across the sea to what was later identified as the Phoenician coast, where it was deposited at the foot of a tamarisk tree. As the tree grew it enclosed Osiris and the chest within its trunk ... which was later cut down by the king of Byblos and used as a pillar in his palace. The fragrance of the pillar became renowned far and wide, and when Isis heard about it she immediately understood its significance. Isis returned the pillar, and the body it contained, to Egypt. The loss of this Secret inspired another explanation of the Creation of the Universe. There was a primordial ocean called Nun. It wasn't flat; rather it was in the shape of a cosmic egg … and from this cosmic egg was born the primeval hill called Nu. |

Osiris, in his earliest Axis Munde form of a tamarisk tree trunk, was called Djed. His later mummy wrappings were symbolic of his having been encased inside a tree trunk. His mummy was therefore an Axis Munde … as indeed were all future mummies. Over time the tree trunk was replaced by the imagery of a pillar which became known as the Djed Pillar, the Pillar of Stability. |

Osiris' mummy wrappings were symbolic of his having been encased in a tree trunk. Over time a tree became a pillar and the mummy came to represent the Axis Munde … also known as the "Tree of Life" and the "Pillar of Heaven". |
When the city of Memphis was founded Ptah usurped the position of Osiris. Also in Mummy wrappings, Ptah represents the Axis Munde. |

When the city of Memphis "The White Wall" was founded, the god Ptah replaced the mummified Osiris as the Djed Pillar. According to the Shabaka Stone, the founders of Memphis subordinated and assimilated all aspects of the Osiris Cosmogony in favour of Ptah and the new Memphite Cosmogony. Why the sudden shift? Was it a determined effort to conceal the Secret of Precession known to a Pre-Dynastic Ancient Egypt? |
