Often he had a falcon's head, much like Horus.

hard to tell from your avatar, but it seems he is holding a weapon, making him more likely to be Horus imo (a some-time war god)

Your videos are great Cabbage, but i still think V was your best, though II also had some great stuff.

V showed a full story though, you felt like you were following a battle as it unfolded- at least, after that initial psycho-techno acid-trip part at the beginning which i think could at least have been shorter. I think it also helps to focus on one mod at a time.

On Ra/Horus- Thats not a weapon, its more likely a crook, was-sceptre or flail, which, along with the ankh, almost all egyptian gods hold in depictions

The main difference in their depictions is that Horus had a hat, while Ra had the sun disk on his head. In that picture, there is no hat, and the sun is behind his head. Ra and Horus were very similar, sometimes said to be the same god, sometimes Horus was the son of Ra. In truth, the worship of Ra replaced the worship of Horus.

You've got to understand that egyptian civilization lasted 3,000 years, and thats just the dynastic period. If you think about how many schisms there have been in Christianity in 2,000 years... and its still a much more stable religion than the old pagan ones were.

Horus was the patron of the kings and represented the sky during the predynastic period. His eyes were the sun and the moon. Horus represented upper egypt, while Set represented lower egypt. When the two were united, the followers of horus (IE the political and cultural entity of upper egypt) eventually won out. Horus became the patron of the kings, and Set eventually became a god of evil.

Ra was the patron of the kings and represented the sun and creator of the late old kingdom through to the new kingdom. Ra and Horus were often seen as the same god, Ra-Horahkty, in much the same way as Ra was combined with Amun as Amun-Ra, when the cult of Amun (Associated with the political entity of Thebes) grew popular.

Its interesting to look at the myths and legends and associations surrounding the ancient Egyptian religion (religions?) but ultimately you must understand that the gods represented cultural and political forces- especially a god of the kings, such as Horus and Ra, something verymuch wrapped up in mortal politics.

There you go Hoi. You're just a pawn for forgotten politics.
