The photos are mythical too, silly. ;’)

Osiris is fictional, basically, so this tomb is really a sort of cenotaph, but was built as a shrine to an Egyptian deity.

RE: Archeologists discover Mythical Tomb of Osiris, God of the Dead

So, the god of the dead really is ... DEAD ??!

[PIF]

Nice find, too bad ‘Osiris’ “died” thousands of years before ... One thing it is not, is an actual tomb for the real person named Osiris ...

[snip] The tomb was found inside the unfinished tomb of ‘Kampp -327.’ [/snip]

http://www.tmpbibliography.com/

Kampp has recently added several hundred tombs to the TT inventory, assigning numbers to them that are enclosed in dashes, such as -232- or -345-, which are not to be confused with TT 232 or TT 345. We have not listed Kampp’s tombs here, since very few of them are to be found in any bibliographic reference other than Kampp’s.
