Like much of the literature on human sacrifice, little attention is given to the important and historic difference between a person being sacrificed for their blood in which their body is left largely unmutilated and rituals where mutilation and dismemberment is considered fundamental. |

The Great and ancient myths of Osiris |
| |
The most sacred location for the worship of Osiris remains the Giza plateau and the most sacred temples to Osiris remain the Giza pyramids and the underground complex beneath them. |
| |
A great deal has been written about the purpose and function of the pyramids with much of it being totally incorrect. The pyramids functioned as the most important and secret ceremonies associated with "re-birth" of a human being into a living god, emulating the stories of Osiris being brought back to life by Isis. |
| |
For those that are not fully familiar, Osiris is the god who was ritually murdered and dismembered into fourteen pieces by Seth. Isis then spent a considerable amount of time looking for all the pieces before bringing him back to life. |
| |
The date of Osiris worship dates back to at least 2,500 BCE making it one of the oldest religious cults of Egypt. |
| |
Of all cults of ritual slaughter and dismemberment, the cult of Osiris is unquestionably the oldest and most important ritual system associated with such behaviour. |
| |
The mechanism of the ritual |
| |
The ritual of human slaughter involved three variations, presumably refined over time. |
| |
The slaughter and rebirth simultaneously |
| |
In the case of the most important temples to Osiris, the victim, the "King" was slaughtered with their blood then travelling down to the tomb of the Queen, the initiate who was then anointed in the blood of the victim. |
| |
The slaughter and sacred cannibalism |
| |
The second example is the ritual slaughter and dismemberment, including the eating of certain flesh and organs signifying sources of power including the liver and heart. |
| |
This variation of treating the organs as special sources of power became popular under the Hyksos rule. |
| |
The slaughter and sacred cannibalism by mixing blood into bread- the sacred Eucharist |
| |
The third variation is the sacred slaughter of the innocent and then the mixing of their blood into unleavened bread or oats which is then consumed as the sacred Eucharist. |
| |
This ceremony became extremely popular by the mid 5th Century BCE and became the basis of the variation of the Passover ceremony introduced by around 455 CE. |
| |
The concept of the Eucharist also was wholly taken and incorporated into Krishnianity. It is unknown if the Catholic Church still practices ritual slaughter and incorporation into human blood in the production of Catholic Eucharist anymore as the process has remained highly secretive. |
