Osiris was important to the people of Egypt in the New Kingdom as king of the Underworld.The people believed that Osiris was killed by his jealous brother Seth who dismembered him and scattered the parts all over Egypt.Osiris’s wife Isis and her sister Nephthys retrieved the parts with Anubis and soon Osiris was resurrected.Although resurrected Osiris could not take the throne again and he instead became king of the Underworld.As Osiris had once been a real human the Egyptians believed that if they followed all the steps he had taken to rule the after-life they too could go there.So if all the steps were correctly taken and Osiris accepted them into his kingdom they would reach the after-life.Osiris was also judge of who came to the after-life
