Jai Puneeth sets a Greek sky tale beside an Egyptian one and offers both as a retelling. Orion the hunter is the winter figure. He boasted he could wipe out every animal, so the Earth sent a scorpion. Zeus then placed both overhead, which is why the hunter shows in winter and the scorpion pursues him in summer. A bright patch in the sword is noted because a great many stars are forming there. The video turns to an Egyptian family. From an early sun come Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, Set, and Horus. Osiris rules with Isis until Set, envious, measures him and builds a gold box to that size. At a feast Osiris fits, the lid is sealed, and the box goes into the river. Isis searches for years, recovers the body in Byblos, and hides it. Set finds the coffin, smashes it, and scatters the remains. With her sister she gathers the parts, and an early embalming is mentioned. Magic cannot restore Osiris to a living throne, so he judges the dead.
Key points
- In the Greek tale used here, Earth sends a scorpion after the hunter, and the two figures trade the seasons.
- A bright cloud in the sword is noted because many stars are forming inside it.
- Set traps Osiris in a gold box built to his measure and throws it into the river.
- Isis recovers the body, Set breaks it up, and the parts are gathered with her sister.
- Osiris is not restored to a living throne and is left as judge of the dead.
- The close adds size and brightness notes plus a romance with the seven sisters.
