-'''[[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.
+This watercolour painting from the '''[[Rosicrucian|Russian Rosicrucian Order, AMORC]]''' was created in 1933. The Rosicrucians are a spiritual and cultural movement that arose in Europe in the early 17th century after the publication of several texts announcing to the world a new esoteric order. Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rosy Cross or Rose Cross. In later centuries, many esoteric societies have claimed to derive from the original Rosicrucians. The most influential of these societies has been the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], which derived from Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia and counted many prominent figures among its members. The largest is the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, a multinational organization based in San Jose, California.
-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.
+According to the writings of the Masonic historian E.J. Marconis de Negre, the Rosicrucian Order was created in the year 46 when an Alexandrian [[Gnosticism|Gnostic]] sage named Ormus and his six followers were converted by one of [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]]' disciples, Mark. Their symbol was said to be a red cross surmounted by a rose, thus the designation of Rosy Cross. From this conversion, Rosicrucianism was born, by purifying [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian mysteries]] with the new higher teachings of early [[Christianity]].
