Horus the falcon god in Ancient Egyptian Art

Hor, Har, or Heru, in ancient Egyptian religion, is a god in the form of a falcon,
or a man with a falcon head known today with the name, Horus.
His name means "The Distant One", or the "One Who is Above".
Horus had different titles and epithets:
Harsiesis (Har-si-Ese, “Horus, Son of Isis”),
Harpocrates (Har-pe-khrad, “Horus the Child”),
Harakhte (“Horus of the Horizon,”
Haroeris (Harwer, “Horus the Elder”).
According to the Osiris Myth, Horus was born miraculously after Goddess Isis retrieved all the dismembered body parts of her murdered husband Osiris.
Horus had to fight Set, the murderer of his father, to restore the order and sovereignty of Egypt.
In the fight, Horus’s left eye (representing the moon) was damaged and was healed by the god Thoth. The figure of the restored eye (the wedjat eye) became a powerful amulet for healing and good luck.
It was believed that Horus had four Sons represented in Canopic Jars.
They were made to contain the internal organs removed from the body during the mummification process. The four sons were believed to protect these organs.
The jackal-headed Duamutef protected the stomach;
the falcon-headed Qebehsenuef, the intestines;
the baboon-headed Hapi, the lungs;
and human-headed Imsety, the liver.
Egyptians believed that the reigning king was a manifestation of Horus.
So the king was typically depicted with a hovering form of Horus above his head.
