AI overview
Horus, also known by several alternate names, was one of ancient Egypt's most important gods, serving roles as the deity of kingship, healing, protection, the sun, and the sky from prehistoric times through the Roman period. Egyptologists recognize multiple forms of Horus throughout history, which they treat as distinct gods, though these may represent different manifestations of a single complex deity with varying attributes and relationships.
