Description
Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion, who was worshipped from at least the late Predynastic period through to Greco-Roman times. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history, and these are treated as distinct gods by Egyptologists. These various forms may possibly be different perceptions of the same multi-layered deity in which certain attributes or syncretic relationships are emphasized, not necessarily in opposition but complementary to one another, consistent with how the Ancient Egyptians viewed the multiple facets of reality.He was most often depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner or peregrine, or as a man with a falcon head.“Its too early for this shit” (C) Daryl Toh Liem Zhan 2012.

I'd love to see him & Thoth elected on the Divine Wisdom ticket! Any god that likes coffee gets my vote

Yep. In fact, the egyptians were converted to Christianism easily because they saw in Christ the incarnation of Horus, who will fight against Seth (now converted into a diabolic entity, Satan).

OMG HE IS MY FAVORITE OF THE EGYPTIAN PATHEON! Well, my favorite male deity, my favorite female is Anukis, Goddess of the Nile. You know what annoys me? When people say Anukis is Anubis' wife, just coz their names are similar. Anubis' wife is Anput.

Gotta love Horus! He's like "I thought Ra was the one who has to wake up early, fuck this noise, I'm going back to bed."
This is win.
