| | Horus, the God of Kings in Ancient Egypt |
 | | The Egyptian word " her" (hor, har), from which the god's name is derived means "the one on high", or "the distant one", probably in reference to the soaring flight of the hunting falcon, if not a reference to the solar aspect of the god. |
| | The original form of Horus was probably that of a sky god, known as "lord of the sky". |
| | Mythologically, the god was imagined as a celestial falcon, whose right eye was the sun and left eye the moon. |
