The story goes as follows: Seth (brother of Osiris) was jealous of Osiris and fought him to the death. After he killed Osiris he cut his body up into 14 pieces and spread the pieces throughout Egypt. Isis (Osiris' wife) found out that her husband was killed and she searched egypt looking for his body parts. She found all but one (his penis) and using her magic she put his body together and buried him, during the process of putting him back together she became impregnated with her son Horus.

Read the first line of the link you gave me. I will quote it for you:

Horus is the god of the sky, and the son of Osiris, the creator (whose own birth was thought due to the Ogdoad).

Your "psychic lady" website leaves out an important part of the story. The penis was actually eaten by a fish (well in Egyptian versions it is, others say it was an alligator and others say it was buried). Isis created a penis out of gold and resurrected Osiris for one day so that she could conceive Horus who would avenge his father's death. After that day, Osiris became the ruler of the underworld.
But don't take my world for it, it's only the most important myth to ever come out of the Egyptian era. It's called the Legend (or Myth) of Osiris and Isis and can be found in its entirety in tons of places. There are pictures and artwork drawn from that period that depict their copulating. Running a Google search on the myth should pull up a lot of reputable sites (as well as images). In the meantime, I've posted a link to the Wikipedia page that gives a brief overview of the legend.

Feel free to go through the other "facts" from the movie that I stated were wrong. I understand your reluctance to research them.
