The meaning of the name of Horus in ancient Egypt
Horus is the patron saint of Pharaoh in ancient Egyptian mythology and a symbol of kingship. His image is the eagle head god. Like many other gods, the essence of Horus, as well as the stories and legends about him, are constantly changing with the development of history. Horus can be regarded as a combination of many other gods related to imperial power and the sky. And most of these gods are sun gods. This is very similar to the Christian view of the Trinity of God. Heru-ur (also known as Harmerti Hamedi) is the earliest version in Horus. He is the creator of the falcon shape. His eyes are the sun and the moon. When the new moon appeared, he became blind. He was called Mekhenty-er-irty (meaning "a man without eyes"), and when his vision recovered, he was called Khenty-irty (meaning "a man with eyes"). Horus is very dangerous when he is blind. He sometimes mistook his friends for enemies and launched an attack. He is the son of Gaby and Knodt and the patron saint of Letopolis. As a child, Horus was called Har-pa-khered (meaning "Horus" and called Harpocrates in Greek), and he was the son of Osiris and Isis or Banebdjetet and Hatmehit. He is depicted as a naked boy with fingers, sitting on the lotus with his mother. This form of Horus is a god of fertility, and he often carries a cornucopia. During the Roman Empire, the image of Hal-Pa-Heller was widely circulated, when he was depicted riding a goose or a ram (note that his father Banebdjetet was a ram god). Later, Horus was clearly identified as Osiris' body and Isis' son (or acacia from Saos). This is often quoted as "Horus" in many academic works. As Har-nedj-itef (called Harendotes in Greek), Horus is Osiris' guardian in the underworld. As Behedti, Horus is Behdet (now Edfu), where his image is closely linked with Falcon. As a Chenti-irti, Horus is an eagle god in charge of law and order. Later, Horus began to combine with the image of La, especially in Heliopolis, and began to be called La-Herleheti (also called La-Heru-Ahti, meaning "Horus with double horizons") and Hal-Em-Ahti (meaning "Horus on the horizon"). Anhur is the name of Horus, a combination of Hugh. In 3000 BC, Saite replaced Horus as the patron saint of Pharaoh. However, when the legend of Seth's murder of his brother spread, Horus was replaced again. There was a battle between Horus and Seth that lasted for eighty years.

Horus ripped off Seth's testicles and a leg, and Seth gouged out Horus's left eye (Horus was called "monocular" from now on). Horus later found his eyes. With the support of Ness, Horus won the battle and became the ruler of upper and lower Egypt (it is also said that Horus and Seth were in charge of upper and lower Egypt). Horus has four sons. In the Egyptian belief about funeral, they put the internal organs of the deceased in four jars: stomach, intestine, lung and liver. Horus was one of the most important gods in ancient Egypt. He is the child of Osiris, the sun god, and Isis, the goddess. He is usually described as an eagle wearing an Egyptian crown, and the pharaohs in ancient Egypt regarded themselves as the embodiment of Horus. In ancient Egyptian mythology, Horus's eyes were gouged out by his uncle Seth and buried in the ground, but later two beautiful water lilies grew here. Later, with the help of Amun-Ra, Horus recovered his sight. The left eye represents the moon and the right eye represents the sun. From then on, "Eye of Horus" symbolizes life and eternity. Another way of saying it is,

Hassall, the goddess, dipped Horus's eyes in antelope milk to help Horus recover his sight. Oudjat became the most powerful amulet in ancient Egypt. It is usually worn on children's necks and wrists, and many precious jewels are cast into the image of the eye of Horus. On Tutankhamun's mummy, he wears the eye bracelet of Horus. Another theory is that Horus was blinded by the eye representing the moon, and Toth helped Horus find this eye. So the moon's light is not as bright as the sun's, and the moon is full and round-the new moon is because Horus's eyes are damaged, and it didn't heal until he stepped into the full moon. The Horus Temple was built in 237 BC and took more than 200 years to complete. It is mainly dedicated to Horus, the eagle head god. This temple is137m long, 79m wide at the front end and 36m high at the gate. It's not very big. There is only one main temple, and there is an eagle head statue of Horus outside the temple. It is similar to other temples. Edfu is located at 123km north of Aswan and 140km south of Luxor, which is the only place to visit the Luxor-Aswan Golden Line. The most famous temple here is Horus Temple. Because of the low terrain, the whole temple was submerged in deep soil when the Nile flooded, which is the best preserved temple in Egypt. The outer room is a huge column hall, and the inner room is a stone room with a rare crocodile mummy.
