Historian A: James Allen – Religious Perspective

'Allen emphasizes the centrality of Osiris in Egyptian religion as a symbol of death and rebirth. He argues that the myth of Osiris reflects the Egyptians' strong belief in life after death. According to Allen, the rituals and tomb practices were designed to ensure safe passage into the afterlife, highlighting Osiris's role as judge of the dead and symbol of eternal life.'

Historian B: Susan Carter – Socio-economic Perspective

'Carter argues that the worship of Osiris was also driven by socio-economic factors. She suggests that the priesthood of Osiris gained significant power and wealth through rituals and temple offerings. To her, the emphasis on the afterlife served to reinforce social hierarchy and control, with the priestly class benefiting from people's religious beliefs.'
