Isis is known as protector of the dead and goddess of children from whom all beginnings arose and was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans, and the downtrodden, listening to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats, and rulers. Some believed that the Nile River flooded every year because of her tears of sorrow for her dead husband, Osiris. This occurrence of his death and rebirth was relived each year through rituals. Like a ritual of death and rebirth, people return to place every year, at the same time, to celebrate the ritual of carnival- revelling in common objects embedded in place, recreating identity and social collective memory.
