  • Cover photo description:
  • These statues of the egyptian god Horus are on a main road near the airport in Hurghada Egypt. The name Horus is Greek. In Ancient Egypt he was known as `Heru` sometimes Hor or Har, which is translated as `the distant one` or `the one on high`from the preposition `hr` meaning `upon` or `above`. He was considered to be a celestial falcon, and so his name could be a specific reference to the flight of the falcon, but could also be seen as a more general solar reference. It is thought that the worship of Horus was brought into Egypt during the predynastic period
