    In "The Burden of Isis," acclaimed author James Teackle Dennis takes readers through the rich tapestry of ancient Egypt, weaving together history, mythology, and adventure. With an interesting approach that blends diligent research and authentic storytelling, the author paints a vivid portrait of an enigmatic civilization and the enduring power of its goddess, ISIS. Rather than presenting a conventional historical account, Dennis transports readers into a world steeped in mystery and intrigue. The book delves into the fascinating mythology surrounding Isis, the goddess of ancient Egypt. Drawing from ancient texts, archaeological discoveries, and his own imagination, Dennis crafts an immersive narrative that brings to life the struggles, triumphs, and sacrifices made in honor of Isis. The Burden of Isis not only illuminates the mythological aspects of ancient Egypt but also explores the intricate dynamics of its society. Through the eyes of various characters, Dennis captures the complexities of daily life, the political maneuverings of pharaohs, and the awe-inspiring rituals performed to appease the gods.

The chants of Isis were found inside a statue of Osiris, by M. Passalaqua. The date of the texts from which the present translations are made approximates 300 B.C.

    OF all the Egyptian religious beliefs that existed from the Prehistoric period down into Roman times, the oldest and the one most held in veneration was that connected with the worship of Osiris, Isis and Horus. These three, though primarily only local gods, at an. early period became prominent deities of all Egypt; and the cult of Isis, more particularly, remained a favourite always, rivalling even that of Osiris in later times. During the many thousand years of Egyptian history, not only did many changes occur in the ceremonies connected with these cults, but also the legends and origin of the Osirian faith received many additions and interpolations; and thus the old faith lost much of its purity. The simplest form in which it is preserved to us states that Osiris was the son of Seb and Nut--i.e. Earth and Heaven; of whom were born also Isis, Nephthys and Set, or Sutekh, as he is also called.
