	Horus
		As Horus was the son of Ra, and god of the sky, he became closely associated with the Pharaoh of Upper Egypt (where Horus was worshipped), and became their patron.
		Since Horus, as the son of Osiris, was only in existence after Osiris's death, and because Horus, in his earlier guise, was the husband of Isis, the difference between Horus and Osiris blurred, and so, after a few centuries, it came to be said that Horus was the resurrected form of Osiris.
		In the time of Christ the term "son of god" had come to mean the bearer of this title was the father god himself as well as his own son incarnated on earth.

		Deeper similarities between Horus and Jesus, which are not at all obvious to those who are not completely familiar with ancient Egyptian mythology and linguistics, have been said by some to mean that certain elements of the story of Jesus were embellishments, which were copied from the Horus as syncretism.

	Lynellen Perry
		Horus, the fifth generation, is the son of Osiris and Isis and he had four sons, but it is not clear who was his mate (Hornung, 146).
		The names of Horus' sons were: Imsety (Amset), protector of the liver; Hapy, protector of the lungs; Duamutef, protector of the stomach; and Qebhsenuef, protector of the intestines (James, 160).
		This description alone would suggest that the Sons of Horus are not related to the Living Creatures since the Living Creatures are in the storm cloud where we would not expect the Sons of Horus to be since Seth (Set), the opponent of Horus, is the god of storms (James, 153).

	The Pyramid and the Body
		The Ancient Egyptians associated the Four Sons of Horus with the four organs of the deceased, the lids of the canopic jars in which the organs were individually kept were fashioned in the shape of the four son's heads.
		Perhaps this association stemmed from the fact that the alignment of the four sides of the pyramid with the four cardinal points was ascertained by observing the stars in the northern polar region of the sky as described in the 'Stretching of the Cord' ritual.
		The celestial Four Sons of Horus could, then, be viewed as cranking the wheel of the cosmos, which is centered on the north celestial pole, the focus of the pyramid's entrance - the navel of the Osiris-Djed.
