Osiris
In ancient Egyptian lore, it is said that Osiris was murdered by his brother, Set. He was cut into pieces and dumped in a river by his brother. Osiris' wife, Isis, found his body parts and wrapped them together. After performing a spiritual ceremony, she was able to bring him back to life long enough to conceive a son with him, the god Horus. As a result of the origin story, Osiris was worshiped in later dynasties as a symbol of life after death. Future pharaohs would be mummified and preserved for the afterlife in the belief that they would join Osiris in the next world.
