Know more about Egypt ! Horus, the falcon was the most ancient god for Egypt as Horus cult goes back to much earlier time than the Egyptian pre-dynastic period. The ancient Egyptians were keen to choose the ultimate skilled hunting bird to patronize as the hunt was one main source for survival at that time. The admiration for Horus continued once Egyptians found another valuable virtue in the falcon which was the valor and the fearlessness and that once they observed it while hunting a prey could be four times bigger than itself. That virtue inspired the Egyptian warriors the skill and the courageousness in battles and made motivated them to present their invocation to Horus for his protection.
