Horus is one of the most ancient deities of the
Ancient Egyptian religion, who appears in his earliest form in late
Predynastic Egypt. Represented as a falcon, his name is believed to mean 'the high' or 'the far off' and his earliest connections are to the sky and kingship, derived from being the son of
Hathor or
Nut, as a sun god. Because the cult of Horus survived for the whole of the Ancient Egyptian civilization that extended for ten thousand years, he gained many forms and associations.
