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.
Sorry, but I don't get my facts or use facts from Wikipedia...
