[[File:Horus standing.svg|thumb|right|200px|Horus]] '''Horus''' was the Egyptian god of the [[Sky]], [[Sun]] , [[Weather]], [[Storms]] , [[Health]] , [[Healing]], [[Kingship]], [[ Loyalty]], [[War]] and [[Protection]] of mankind. He was the [[son]] of [[Isis]] and [[Osiris]]. After fighting his uncle, [[Seth|Set]] (Osiris and Isis' brother) he became the [[Pharaoh|king of Egypt]]. During this fight, he lost his eye. The ''[[Eye of Horus]]'' became one of the most important symbols in [[ancient Egypt]] and Egyptian [[civilization]]. When Horus lost his eye, his eye set out on a journey of its own. When the other Gods tried to catch the eye, his eye began to cry. These tears became the first people of Egypt in Egyptian belief. == The Eye of Horus == '''The Eye of Horus''', also known as wadjet eye, wedjat eye or udjat eye, is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power, and good health. '''The Eye of Horus''' is similar to '''the Eye''' of Ra, which belongs to a different god, Ra, but represents many of the same concepts. According to Egyptian myth, Horus lost his left eye in a struggle with Set. The eye was magically restored by [[Hathor]], and this restoration came to symbolize the process of making whole and healing. For this reason, the symbol was often used in amulets. == Worship == '''Horus''', was worshiped all over [[Egypt]], especially in Pe, Bendet and [[Khem]]. There were many [[falcon]] gods before Horus, but eventually Horus represented all of them. He was worshiped until the end of the Pre-Dynastic period. In [[Upper Egypt]] (south), in the town of Edfu, was Ptolemaic, a temple for Horus. In Kom Ombo, there was another temple for Horus called the Kom Ombo temple. Horus was a good friend of [[Sobek]]. He was also worshipped as a guide to the pharaohs. == Physical appearance == '''Horus''' was considered handsome and usually appeared as a [[falcon]] or a falcon headed man, although sometimes he appeared as a falcon headed crocodile. Sometimes he would take the form of a celestial falcon w
