Horus and Seth.B


Then Seth sat on the throne and ruled as a king and a great god for all of Kemet and its two lands.



Granite statue of Horus, the Falcon god.

The main carving that represents the fight between Horus and Seth is divided into ten stages where you can see the hippopotamus is stabbed and cut within these ten stages .Most probably the idea to dismember seth is a retaliation to the previous action taken by seth after Osiris death and once his body had been dismembered by Seth leaving no chance for Osiris to have a reincarnation.


The first stab and cut is in the neck of the hippopotamus.



The second stab and cut is in the area of the head.


The third stab and cut is in the heart.
