ANCIENT AFRICAN MASIAS “OSIRIS”

ANCIENT AFRICAN MASIAS “OSIRIS”

Look at this face. Stare into his eyes.

This is not a myth. This is not a cartoon god. This is a 2,500-year-old wooden statue of the first Black Messiah to ever d!e and r!se again thousands of years before any other story was written.

His name the Greeks called OSIRIS. But his people, the people of Kemet, called him AUSAR.

And this artifact , look at it closely is telling you everything about African spiritúality.

This is a wooden çúlt statue of Ausar, probably from the Late Period to Ptolemaic Period, around 600-100 BC. You can see the age: wood cracked, paint fadèd, but the eyes , the eyes are still alive, wide open, staring at eternity.

On his head is the Atef Crown, the white Hedjet crown of Upper Egypt flanked by two ostrich feathers. Those feathers are not decoration. They are the feather of MAAT , truth, justice, balance.

In the middle of his forehead is the Uraeus , the cobra, Wadjet, the protector. Green bronze, rearing to strike any éñèmy. This shows he is a King. A god-King.

Behind the crown are the two great ram horns? No , those are the ostrich plumes curved outward, the sign of a man who has conquered d£àth.

And his skin? The paint is worn but you can still see it: dark brown wood, chosen on purpose, because Ausar is the Lord of the Black Land. The Lord of the fertile earth.

Ausar was not just “god of the dēåd.” That is the small European definition.

Ausar was:

1. The god of Agriculture: He taught Africans how to farm. When the Nile flooded and left black silt, that was Ausar’s body. When barley sprouted, that was Ausar resurrecting. Every seed that díès in the ground and rises again is Ausar.
2. The god of Resúrrection: His brother Set
   k!led him, çút him into 14 pieces and sçattered him across Kemet. His wife, Auset (Isis), a powerful Black woman, went across the world, found every piece, put him back together, and through love and magic, brought him back to life. That is why he is wrapped like a mummy , he is the first mummy. The first man to beat dëàth.
3. The god of the Aftérlife and Judgemèñt: After he rose, he became King of the Duat the underworld. Every person who d!ed had to face him in the Hall of Two Truths, where your heart was weighed against the feather of Maat. If your heart was light , if you did not stéal, k!l, l!e , you lived forever with Ausar.
4. The Original Messiah: Born of a virgin? The divine child Heru (Horus) son of Ausar and Auset. K!led by èvíl? Rose from the d£ad? Will judge the world? That story started in Africa, 4,000 years before it was told anywhere else. Plutarch, a Greek, admitted: “The Egyptians say Osiris is the Nile and Isis is the Earth.”

This statue stood in a temple or a tømb. Priests poured libatíøñs on it. Families prayed to it to protect their dèäd. They believed that if you had Ausar with you, you would never d!e , you would become an Ausar yourself.

That is why they call the d£ad in the Book of Coming Forth by Day: “The Osiris N” , “The Ausar [Your Name].” When you diè, you become him.

Look at his face again. Calm. Slight smile. Eyes wide open even in d£ath. Because he knows: Dëàth is not the end. It is just planting.

This is not a “pagan !døl.” This is an African ancestor who taught humanity that life is stronger than dëàth, that a Black woman’s love can resurrect a broken man, and that truth will weigh heavier than any líè.

His name is AUSAR. He is African. He is immortal.
