In
Egyptian mythology, Horus was the Divine Child of Osiris and Isis. As the Incarnate
God, his roles were numerous. He united the cosmic principles of male and

interceded on behalf of the King to the Gods and as a living God, it is Horus

contain the visceras of the embalmed deceased. Horus's most important cult
