Some might remember studying Egyptian deities in a high school or college mythology class, or perhaps as part of a course on Old Testament history, but let this be stated now and without reservation: Set actually existed.

But clever Isis circumvented this problem by fashioning a substitute generative member from either her own thumb or from a bit of gold. Lastly, taking the form of a kite (type of bird), and with the aid of the god Thoth’s magical working, Isis revived Osiris just long enough for him to beget the falcon-headed god Horus. Thus, Isis foiled Set’s plans by producing an heir who would avenge his father. And Osiris, whose skin is green to represent death, now reigns as Lord of the Underworld.
