Well it's not unlikely - several scientists believe that Odin/wudin of Norse mythology might have been a king or chieftain whose legends slowly morphed into myth. And he then became a god. we have no records of such a king but it doesn't mean that he never existed - there are no written records of early Norse religion he could have lived long ago and people might have passed on the legends and his name by word of mouth for many years... And we all know what happens to stories when they're told over and over and time passes Smiley

So it could have happened in Egypt - just because we have no record of a resent king by that name around the time where Osiris started appearing as a god, doesn't mean it couldn't have originated from stories of a much earlier king.

But as with Odin - as long as we have no records with the name in connection with a king or ruler - we really can't say for sure - we can only make educated guesses from what we do know.
