Tears of Gold

Tears of Gold
Type	Divine ingredient
Owner(s)	Victor Rodenmaar Sr. Victor Rodenmaar Jr.

Tears of Gold is the final ingredient in the Elixir of Life. The tears are obtained once The Chosen One wears The Mask of Anuis. Nina Martin got a ring from Victor's Father and was instructed to give it ring to his son. Victor opened the ring and found one more Tear of Gold. This was ended Season 2 on a cliffhanger, though it is unknown what happened to the Tear or how Victor used it after the finale. Had Nathalia Ramos stayed on as Nina Martin in Season 3, it is possible that the season story arc would have revolved around the Tear.

Osiris Myth

The Osiris myth is the most elaborate and influential story in ancient Egyptian mythology. It concerns the murder of the god Osiris, a primeval king of Egypt, and its consequences. Osiris's murderer, his brother Set, usurps his throne. Meanwhile, Osiris's wife Isis restores her husband's body, allowing him to posthumously conceive their son, Horus. The remainder of the story focuses on Horus, the product of the union of Isis and Osiris, who is at first a vulnerable child protected by his mother and then becomes Set's rival for the throne. Their often violent conflict ends with Horus's triumph, which restores Maat (cosmic and social order) to Egypt after Set's unrighteous reign and completes the process of Osiris's resurrection.

The myth, with its complex symbolism, is integral to ancient Egyptian conceptions of kingship and succession, conflict between order and disorder, and especially death and the afterlife. It also expresses the essential character of each of the four deities at its center, and many elements of their worship in ancient Egyptian religion were derived from the myth.

The Osiris myth reached its basic form in or before the 24th century BCE. Many of its elements originated in religious ideas, but the struggle between Horus and Set may have been partly inspired by a regional conflict in Egypt's Early Dynastic or Prehistoric Egypt. Scholars have tried to discern the exact nature of the events that gave rise to the story, but they have reached no definitive conclusions.

Parts of the myth appear in a wide variety of Egyptian texts, from funerary texts and magical spells to short stories.

Osiris's death is followed either by an interregnum or by a period in which Set assumes the kingship. Meanwhile, Isis searches for her husband's body with the aid of Nephthys. When searching for or mourning Osiris, the two goddesses are often likened to falcons or kites, possibly because kites travel far in search of carrion, because the Egyptians associated their plaintive calls with cries of grief, or because of the goddesses' connection with Horus, who is often represented as a falcon. In the New Kingdom, when Osiris's death and renewal came to be associated with the annual flooding of the Nile that fertilized Egypt, the waters of the Nile were equated with Isis's tears of mourning or with Osiris's bodily fluids. Osiris thus represented the life-giving divine power that was present in the river's water and in the plants that grew after the flood.

Throughout House of Anubis

When Nina wore The Mask of Anubis, it started weeping Tears of Gold. However, when Rufus Zeno wore the mask he went to the Lake of Fire, Inferno or Hell because he didn't have a pure heart, and you can't positively wear the mask without a pure heart. This is maybe a sign that Senkhara wanted Nina to wear the mask so she could go to the afterlife since unlike Senkhara, Nina was pure of heart. The tears Nina wept were given to Joy, by Victor to save her life in the final episode of Season 2.

The tears seem to be made of a semi-solid liquid, as they are capable of holding shape. If this is the case, then the Tears of Gold do not consist of gold or water. Gold was, for the Egyptians, the flesh of the gods, their bones were silver and their hair lapis lazuli. In addition, as the Egyptians considered the pharaoh the son of the Sun, and identified him with that god, they began to use gold in the funerary furnishings of the pharaohs.

Unfinished Cliffhanger

In the Season 2 finale, the episode ended on a cliffhanger with Victor opening his ring to find one last tear of gold. It was expected to make this cliffhanger resolved in Season 3, but it was not. It was also expected to be resolved in the 90-minute movie, The Touchstone of Ra. However, it was not. Victor left Anubis House in the movie so this could probably  mean that the cliffhanger will never be resolved. Although, it is possible that Victor left Anubis House to go to America, to find Nina, since her protector, Eddie, is no longer her Osirion, but it's unlikely.

Trivia

• The golden tears may be a vague reference to the tears of Isis in the Osiris myth.
• In the first version, Het Huis Anubis, the tears of Isis play a key role in season 3 and 4. It is possible that the golden tears in the English version (House Of Anubis) is an adaptation of the tears of Isis in the first version.
