Fun Facts
1. Isis’ sister Nephthys wore even more intense headgear, which included a house and a
basket.
• 2. Soap operas have nothing on Egyptian myth. Aside from all the trickery, conflict,
and murder among the gods, their roles kept changing as time went on—so Isis, for
example, went from being Horus’ mother to being his wife, then back again.
3. Anubis, the god of death, was depicted with the head of a jackal. It’s believed
that jackals became associated with death because they kept trying to dig up bodies
from graveyards and eat them.
