-'''[[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 [[Pyramid Texts]] describe the nature of the pharaoh in different characters as both Horus and [[Osiris]]. The pharaoh as Horus in life became the pharaoh as Osiris in death, where he was united with the other gods. New incarnations of Horus succeeded the deceased pharaoh on earth in the form of new pharaohs.

-Throughout the three thousand years of Egyptian civilization, Horus was depicted in many different forms with many different roles. He was most often depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner falcon or peregrine falcon, or as a man with a falcon head.
