Power of the Underworld- Anpu/Anubis
In Egypt the egg was the symbol for the setting sun, which is often seen in that shape when about to touch the horizon. That egg passed into the underworld, and was hatched there, and out of it came the young sun the next morning, rising in his strength, which was called “the flame born of a flame”. All this bore a deeply mystical significance, which was explained in the Mysteries.
When Osiris died, Isis and Nepthys -in turn tried to raise him, but it proved a failure; then Anubis attempted it and succeeded, and Osiris returned to the world with the secrets of Amenti -a significant statement which seems to suggest that the secrets which we possess are closely connected with the underworld and the life after death.
