Isis was one of the most important goddesses in ancient Egyptian mythology. She was the goddess of magic, motherhood, and fertility, and was often depicted with a throne on her head, symbolizing her role as the queen of the gods.
Isis was also associated with the afterlife, and was believed to help guide the souls of the dead on their journey to the underworld. She was the sister and wife of Osiris, and was believed to have resurrected him after his murder by his brother Set.
The worship of Isis was widespread throughout ancient Egypt, and she was often invoked by women seeking protection during pregnancy and childbirth.
The influence of Isis can still be seen in modern Egyptian culture and religion, and she remains an important figure in the pantheon of Egyptian gods and goddesses.
