Horus is one of the most significant deities in the ancient Egyptian religion who was worshiped from at least 3100 BC through the Greek-Roman era. There are different forms of Horus that have been recorded in history and these are treated as distinct gods of Egypt. These forms may be the same multi-layered God in which certain attributes or relationships are expressed. He was most often depicted as a falcon, peregrine or as a man with a falcon head.
