Was the Egyptian Deity Asar Real or a Myth?

[ddenniscoleman3]

Yet today I was reading an essay by Wayne Chandler from a book titled Egypt Revisted edited by Ivan Van Sertima. Asar for those who may need to freshen up is an Egyptian deity (better known in the mainstream media as Osiris) who wife is Aset (Isis) and son is Heru (Horus) who was killed by his brother Set (Seth) and was cut into 12 pieces and were dispersed around the globe. As a result, the god of fertility Min received the gold fluid through the spirit of Asar and channeled to Aset to produce Heru.

According to the essay that Chandler wrote in the book titled Of Gods and Men: Egypt's Old Kingdom, Asar (Osiris in the book) was in fact an historical figure that existed that was proven by the excavation of his tomb at Abydos, an ancient city in Egypt by Emile Amelineau. Amelineau came across what looked like a preserved head found in a jar in the necropolis of Abydos. Some have denied and continue to deny that that head is the head of Asar saying that Amelineau was a poor archeological or had a lack of training in the field to come up with such a conclusion. Maybe for those critics, that's possibly their way of covering up the truth. In addition I found a website that touches on this subject at http://www.all-about-egypt.com/abydos.html and there's even a video on youtube of archeaologist Zahi Hawass supposedly finding the tomb of Asar near the Sphinx:

In the book is also a statue of Asar (Osiris) which looks really errie to me (especially with the big focused eyes staring straight at you, LOL!) but fascinating at the same time because it's like I'm looking at a real person from the past untouched by time. The features don't look typical and ambiguous, they look unique and "negroid" for a better term. Here's a picture of the statue of Asar that's actually also found in the Egypt Revisted book:

...So what do all of you think? This is the Billion dollar question that few seem to ask despite of their fascination with Egypt. Was Asar a real historical figure like King Tut Ankh Amen, Queen Nefertari, King Khufu, etc. or is he a myth?

Seems to me that eery myth has to get it's start somewhere in reality.

I believe that all myths are based on people that existed.  I am sure the myths are embellished more and more with the passage of time but I think Asar was a real person.

With Egyptian history its so hard to learn the real truth behind so many stories because of the denial that it's African History.  I am sure there are many more suppressed myths, stories and archeological sites that would prove these people were black.

I wonder and hope if the "truth" (hypothetically speaking for those who have come to terms with the possibility of Asar existing. I feel that this information is true) to this evidence will come to light. They can't find the remains of Jesus, Moses, Abraham and Issac and pictures of these people while they were alive yet in the tombs and temples of Egypt you have writings and pictures on the wall indicating that these people and the event suggested did exist.
