What might be Osiris pillars be in Egypt?

An architectural innovation found in  temples of the New Kingdom (1550-1069 b.c.). Where the mummiform figure of Osiris, the god of dead, is carved into one side of a four sided pillar, to further honor the god. Wow isn't being a mummy fun!!!!!!!!!!. Osiris pillars can be seen in the mortuary temple of Hatsheput at Deir el Rahri, and in the Ranesseum, the mortuary Temple of Ramses II. I would like to have a temple named after me.

  1. I like how you said that you would like to have a temple named after yourself. I like to know what the author's opinion is and you've done that a couple of times. It would be cool to have a temple named after yourslef.
