Of course, now that this thread has happened I wonder why Osiris was so powerful.

Theory: Egyptian mythology has a (I think) uniquely broad, enduring appeal even thousands of years after the old religion has essentially died out. The Pyramids and Sphinx, temples, mummies and artifacts are beautiful, mysterious, extraordinarily old and well-known throughout the world. Most people in the U.S. have at least seen a few Time-Life, National Geographic or History Channel specials on the subject, or been exposed to it through Hollywood, or even by the story of Moses leading the Israelites out of captivity.

As a result, Osiris (and possibly other Egyptian deities) may be able to drawn somewhat on the perennial public fascination with the subject, even if they're not technically being worshipped in the classic sense anymore (remember the Paris Hilton god? Nobody actually "worships" Abraham Lincoln or Ghandi as deities, but she made peoples' interest and admiration of them work for her.)

Also, if we take into account the idea of souls being power sources, the Egyptian pantheon had a very long time to stockpile them before their religion died, so they could still be drawing on that resource.

Good points! (As many scarily batshit people there are in this fandom, I still love that there are just as many who enjoy thinking about the mythology of it. (If only the writers belonged to this group...))
