Link to source please - a real source if you don't mind.......you do realize that the AE showed him as green or black?

No the AE show him as being blue, that blue pigment turns green after exposure to moisture, oxygen, light etc. He is depicted blue much like Indians depict their gods (like the one in my aviator).

Claudian believed that the inhabitants of Thule were Picts.[27] This is supported by a physical description of the inhabitants of Thule by the Roman poet Silius Italicus, who wrote that the people of Thule were blue painted:

Can I get a source also (from an Egyptologist please)? Specifically for where you state that the blue pigment turns green after exposure to moisture, oxygen and light.

You will have to search for it. I have read it myself and seen it (have seen wall paintings that were half blue and half green where they were exposed to moisture)
You can see osiris is depicted blue in the image below


Osiris blue face, notice hands have turned green!

Sorry Luxus but I simply don't believe you. You'll have to provide a link as noted above for the chemical change


About Green

As with blue, the Ancient Egyptians could also manufacture a green pigment – verdigris (Ancient Egyptian name 'hes-byah' – which actually means copper or bronze dross (rust). Unfortunately, verdigris reacts with sulphides, such as the yellow pigment orpiment, and turns black. (Mediaeval artists would use a special glaze over the top of verdigris to protect it.)

So this confirms the colour green and black for Osiris

About blue

Blue (Ancient Egyptian name 'irtyu') was the color of the heavens, the dominion of the gods, as well as the color of water, the yearly inundation, and the primeval flood. Although Ancient Egyptians favored semi-precious stones such as azurite (Ancient Egyptian name 'tefer') and lapis lazuli (Ancient Egyptian name 'khesbedj', imported at great cost across the Sinai Desert) for jewelery and inlay, technology was advanced enough to produce the world's first synthetic pigment, known since medieval times as Egyptian blue. Depending on the degree to which the pigment Egyptian blue was ground, the color could vary from a rich, dark blue (coarse) to a pale, ethereal blue (very fine).

You may be thinking of Turquoise

Colours of ancient Egypt

Your link also doesn't work to 'The Mythical Origin of the Egyptian Temple', I think you will find it doesn't quite say what you want it to say

the reference to 1863 means North America and West Virginia-- the location of the White and Blue Crowns of Ancient Egypt

Sorry hotgas

I can make no sense of what you are saying or its point. If you have some point to make I'd suggest you do it in a thread of your own

You didn't provide a link as requested, I also noted that they used a greenish blue tourgouise at time for Osiris, but most were Green- some of which turn black as noted in my links

Where is you link?
