Horus, also referred to as Heru, Har, Her or Hor in Ancient Egyptian, holds great significance as one of the prominent deities in ancient Egyptian culture. He fulfilled various roles, notably as the god of kingship, healing, protection, the sun, and the sky. From the late prehistoric Egypt to the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt, Horus was revered and worshipped. Egyptologists recognize different forms of Horus throughout history, considering them as distinct gods. These diverse forms represent different aspects of the same complex deity, with certain attributes or syncretic relationships emphasized. Rather than being in opposition, these aspects complement each other, aligning with the Ancient Egyptians' perception of the multifaceted nature of reality. Depictions of Horus commonly portray him as a falcon, likely a lanner falcon or peregrine falcon, or as a man with a falcon head.
