ABYDOS: Sanctuary of Osiris
" Of the home of this being who rose from the dead, and of the position which he occupied in this World nothing can be learned from the texts, but late Greek writers assert that he was a King,and they are probably correct.

The time leaves us only the tops of the icebergs, carrying the echoes of the last events, on which it once stops, "waiting for a certain interval" before the beginning of a new round of History - either a breakthrough or fading. This very time interval - the "period of silence" over the duration of which many ancient knowledge, skills and technologies were lost, carried away the direct answers to our numerous questions.
