Osiris explanation

Hey guys, with bungie revealing the trials of osiris event yesterday i asked myself why the trials of osiris armor looked like egyptian armor from 3000 yrs ago? So i remembered bungie often doing stuff like this. For example our beloved ghjallahorn, which comes from the german/icelandic/northern religion of thor, odin, etc. which is the horn the sentinel of heaven blows when the apocalypse starts. In destiny osiris was a warlock who knew too much about the darkness so he was abandoned by the tower. So i just googled "osiris" and found out that he was indeed an egyptian god from like 3000 yrs ago. He was the god of death. Until he formed an empire together with a king. After the empire fell osris was abandoned by the other gods. So it's quite similar to the destiny osiris. So i looked at the armor again. And realized the hunter helmet was basically the eye of osiris (which existed too). So i asked myself if titan and warlock stood for some other god too? My research turned out like this : Warlock : Anubis- god of preparing the dead for their journey. Titan : Seth/horus- god of evil and destruction. So that is what i found out. Hope it was intresting! If i made faults about the old egyptian mythology feel free to tell me. Edit : to everyone who claims that everyone should already know this. I'm from europe like a lot of other destiny players and over here the focus lies on greek mythology ( yeah they were kinda clever back then without all the debts ) because of their philosophers and modern civilizations that already existed thousands of years ago. Princesses getting kidnappes by gods that look like huge bulls. Stuff like that.
