'''[[Death]]''' is the 13th card in the [[Major Arcana]] in most traditional [[Tarot]] decks. In the 1374 [[trionfi]] poem which inspired the creation of the tarot, Death was the name of one of the six original triumphs.
'''[[Horus]]''' is one of the most significant ancient [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian deities]] who served many functions, most notably as god of kingship and the sky. He was worshipped from at least the late prehistoric Egypt until the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt. Different forms of Horus are recorded in history, and these are treated as distinct gods by Egyptologists.


The painting of Death depicts a carriage carrying a massive black monument of death with a skeletal [[angel]] of death on top. Two black bulls are pulling the carriage backward and the entire surrounding crowd of onlookers are all dead or running away from the approaching bulls. Additional skulls adorn the edges of the painting.


Some decks, such as the [[Tarot of Marseilles]] and [[Visconti-Sforza Tarot]] omit the name from the card, calling it "The Card with No Name", often with the implication of a broader meaning than literal death. There are other decks that title Death as "Rebirth" or "Death-Rebirth."
