The word Osiris also means “many eyed”. Siva is represented with three eyes. The Egyptians worshiped Osiris as the Lord of Precession. Osiris is said to reside in the constellation of Orion. He is also seen as the controller or lord of the dead. Rudra has his home in Orion as well. He is seen as the controller of time often called as kal purush or time man. The temple of Siva at Chidambaram is oriented towards Orion constellation as well. Rudra is seen as the destroyer. At the elapse of the great age he will unleash his fury on this world destroying everything. Rudra is also famous for his celestial dance which again is an allegory for precession. Both Siva and Osiris are associated with the Bull. Siva is worshiped in the lingam format and Osiris as the phallus. If we have the purusamrigas in the Siva temples, we have the sphinx associated with Osiris in Egypt .
