Photo taken during the opening visit of the exhibition 'Osiris, Egypt's Sunken Mysteries'. Egypt, Alexandria, National Museum, 2 sphinxes and the statue of a man, probably an Osiris priest, wearing a toga and carrying a canopic jar. Mythically, these vases were used by Isis to store the parts of Osiris, killed by his brother Seth. Their name comes from the city of Canopus, where Franck Goddio's team made an underwater excavation.
