Heru
Perhaps one of the oldest ancient Egyptian gods, Heru (or Horus) was most recognizable by his falcon head, representing focus, vision and far sight. Initially recorded as the national god of Nekhen in Upper Egypt (in the southern part of Egypt), Heru was the god of the sky, war and hunting. Many Egyptians believed that he was magically conceived by Auset after his father Ausar was murdered. Ruling pharaohs were commonly regarded as the true manifestation of Heru in life and Ausar in death.
