Horus – Egyptian God of Kingship, the Sky, and Divine Protection

CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:

• Horus is one of the most important gods in ancient Egyptian religion, often represented as a falcon or a man with a falcon’s head. He is associated with the sky, divine authority, and protection.

• He is the son of Isis and Osiris, and his myth centers on avenging his father’s death by battling his uncle Set—a powerful allegory of justice, restoration, and the rightful order of the cosmos (Ma’at).

• Pharaohs were considered the earthly embodiment of Horus, linking him directly to leadership and divine rulership.
