Documentor: W. D. Cotton Related Programs: All calibration routines Horus was the son of the Eqyptian god and goddess Osirus and Isis. Osirus was the first Egyptian king, a just and wise ruler who invented civilization and agriculture. His evil brother Set was jealous of Osirus and wanted his throne and his wife/sister. Set killed Osirus and chopped his body into 17 pieces and threw them into the Nile. Isis collected all of his parts except his penis which had been eaten by crabs. She made a copy of his missing member and reassembled and embalmed his body. With the help of the mummy, she conceived Horus to avenge his father's death and to assume his throne. She then raised him in a marsh to protect his from his uncle. After a long and undecisive war, Set took the matter to court - a tribunal of the gods. The gods were unable to decide if the issue should be settled on the basis of might or right. After the trial had lasted for 80 years, the gods started bickering. The minor god Baba taunted presiding god Ra-Harakhte (who was becoming senile) that "Your shrine is empty!" and he went into a snit and wouldn't come back until his daughter Hathor exposed herself to him. Isis then tricked Set into making statments which were damaging to his case and a decision was reached in Horus' favor. Horus then married Hathor and assumed the throne of Osirus. After his death was thus avenged, Osirus was resurrected and became the king of the underworld (near present day Libya) and the judge of the dead. The pharoahs of Egypt thereafter claimed to be the living incarnation of Horus. (ref. V. Ions, 1982, "Egyptian Mythology", Peter Bedrick Books, New York)
