Who is horus of egypt

He was commonly depicted as a falcon-headed god with a double crown. The pharaohs of Egypt were associated with Horus since the pharaoh was considered to be the earthly embodiment of the god.

In the beginning stages of the ancient Egyptian religion, Horus was believed to be the god of war and the sky, and was married to the goddess Hathor. As the religion progressed, Horus was seen as the son of Osiris and Isis, as well as the opponent of Seth. This change in belief created the myth about Horus and Seth in which Seth was jealous of Osiris his brother and king of the deities because he himself wanted to be king. He murdered Osiris and split the body into pieces, which he scattered throughout Egypt.

Isis, wife and sister of Osiris, searched and collected the pieces of her husband with the help of her sister, Nephthys. He has become one of the most commonly used symbols of Egypt, seen on Egyptian airplanes, and on hotels and restaurants throughout the land. H orus is the son of Osiris and Isis , the divine child of the holy family triad. He is one of many gods associated with the falcon. His name means "he who is above" and "he who is distant".

The falcon had been worshipped from earliest times as a cosmic deity whose body represents the heavens and whose eyes represent the sun and the moon. Horus is depicted as a falcon wearing a crown with a cobra or the Double Crown of Egypt.

The hooded cobra uraeus , which the gods and pharaohs wore on their foreheads , symbolizes light and royalty. It is there to protect the person from harm.
