The ancient Egyptians aspired to a successful rebirth into a blessed afterlife, in the image of the god Osiris. Because he was resurrected thanks to his wife Isis and her sister Nephthys, they were often depicted at the two ends of coffins and sarcophagi. The deceased, thus identified with Osiris, was expected to be reborn into the afterlife as well. The figures of Isis and Nephthys in mourning in the moments before the resurrection of Osiris do not merely represent the inevitability of death, but the promise of the triumph of life over death.
