Horus


Horus also known as hor, heru, or her. This gods symbols are a hawk falcon, double crown, winged disk, and a sphinx. As a child he was shown wearing a side lock and a royal crown sucking his thumb. Maybe because his dad was dead when he was born. Or because he was born early. In his child form he was shown with a stunted lower body. Pharaohs would take the name of Horus to show there direct relationship with Horus. Isis also a Goddess was the mother of horus. She raised him on a floating island called Chemmis to protect him from seth. Seth wanted to kill Horus but Isis protected him.
