Horus (God)
Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion. He was most often depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner or peregrine, or as a man with a falcon head. Horus served many functions in the Egyptian pantheon, most notably being the god of the sun, war and protection. Since Horus was said to be the sky, he was considered to also contain the sun and moon. It became said that the sun was his right eye and the moon his left, and that they traversed the sky when he, a falcon, flew across it. The Pharaohs were said to be Horus in human form.
