Size: : Height:140 cm / 55 inch. Unique statue Ancient Egyptian Antiquities Egyptian God Horus Egyptian Falcon BC. Horus absorbed a number of local gods including Nekheny the Nekhenite (a hawk god) and Wer (a god of light known as "the great one" whose eyes were the sun and moon) to become the patron of Nekhen (Heirakonpolis) and later the patron god of the pharaohs. Nekhen was a powerful city in the pre-dynastic period, and the early capital of Upper Egypt. By the Old Kingdom he was simply referred to as Horus, and had become the first national god and the patron of the Pharaoh. He was originally considered to be the counterpart and enemy of Set. While Horus represented Lower Egypt, Set represented Upper Egypt, and the two were locked in a battle which would not be won or lost until the world ended and everything slipped back into chaos. This myth evolved and soon it was thought that Horus and Set fought for eighty years before the Council of the Gods ruled that Horus should rule Egypt.

It may seem strange that Horus was associated with Lower Egypt and yet he is associated with Nekhen, in Upper Egypt. Please contact me and I will do everything to your?? Recommend that you see the picture well and then take your decision and take your responsibility.
