	Omnipelagos.com ~ article "Set (mythology)"
		The earliest known representation of Set comes from a tomb dating to the Naqqada I phase of the Predynastic Period (circa 4000–3500 BCE), and the Set-animal is even found on a mace-head of the Scorpion King, a Protodynastic ruler.
		A new theory has it that the head of the Set animal is a representation of the Mormyrus kannamae (Nile Mormyrid), which resides in the waters near Kom Ombos, one of the sites of a Temple of Set, with the two square fins being what are normally interpreted as ears.
		However, it may be that part or all of the Set animal was based on the Salawa, a similarly mysterious canine creature, with forked tail and square ears, one member of which was claimed to have been found and killed in 1996 by the local population of a region of Upper Egypt.

		That he was the local god of Ombos (hieroglyphic) opposite Kus in the fifth Upper Egyptian nome is revealed by his constant epithet 'the Ombite, lord of Upper Egypt', his being found as early as the Pyramid Texts.
