Spiritual meaning
The sky itself, imagined as a falcon with the sun and moon as his eyes — kingship on Earth was a direct extension of Horus, with every ruling pharaoh understood as his living form.
Historical background
His conflict with his uncle Set over the throne of Egypt is one of the oldest surviving narratives in human history, referenced in texts dating back over four thousand years.
