ENT_EGY_PTAH_SEKER_OSIRIS,PER_EGY_NEW_KINGDOM Ptah-Seker-Osiris ENT_EGY_PTAH_SEKER_OSIRIS New Kingdom PER_EGY_NEW_KINGDOM high The composite Ptah-Seker-Osiris unifies three funerary aspects: Ptah (creation/craftsman; Memphis), Seker (necropolis deity of the Memphis plateau), and Osiris (lord of the dead); this composite emerges in the New Kingdom as an expression of the unification of creation, death, and resurrection theology under one divine figure; New Kingdom funerary texts are the earliest systematic attestation SRC_HORNUNG_DUAT reviewed
ENT_EGY_PTAH_SEKER_OSIRIS,PER_EGY_PTOLEMAIC Ptah-Seker-Osiris ENT_EGY_PTAH_SEKER_OSIRIS Ptolemaic Period PER_EGY_PTOLEMAIC high Ptah-Seker-Osiris becomes a major figure in Ptolemaic funerary religion; the Ptolemaic wooden coffin traditions and funerary statuettes of Ptah-Seker-Osiris (a characteristic Ptolemaic-period artifact type) are among the most common surviving religious objects from this period; the composite represents the totality of the funerary divine process SRC_HORNUNG_DUAT reviewed
