Notice the upper and lower motif consisting of a row of stars, the lower row is easily discernible:
*********************************************************
This signifies that it's a heavenly scene -- the afterlife -- Anubis bringing the mummy to life to live in heaven forever among the stars. This is not an earthly scene among mortals but is immortality expressed among the stars with the gods. Praise be to Amon-Ra!
HalleluRA! For ever and ever, halleluRA, halleluRA!
And Amon-Ra shall reign for ever and ever!
Recall that Facsimile No. 3 also has a row of stars in the upper motif. That too, is a heavenly scene. It represents what was happening in heaven as Hor was being ushered into the presence of Osiris. Smith's interpretation set the scene on earth among mortals and his cast of characters amount to nothing more than a joke coming from the mouth of a snake oil salesman -- a liar.
Now take into consideration the Facsimile No. 1. The rising of Osiris took place on earth where his wife received him in order to conceive Horus. There is no motif of stars because it's not a heavenly scene. The motif is that of the Nile and the niched bricking or carved stones signifies the temple walls adjacent to the Nile where the river crocodiles are ever present.
All glory to Osiris my lord!
Amen.
