504 The Secret History of the World
Hor. By 2900 BC, pictures of this sun god show him riding in his “boat of
heaven”.
It certainly makes one wonder if a brilliant UFO rising up out of the water would
cause the ancient peoples to connect a boat (that goes on water) with flying
through the air while looking like the sun! And, over and over again we are
finding this image or juxtaposition of images.
According to Emery, the name of the first king of the First Dynasty, known as
Narmer or Menes in Manetho’s history of 270 BC, was actually Hor-Aha. Later,
the name of Hor appears to have been incorporated into the more ancient goddess
religion as the “son who dies”. This has led to a lot of confusion between the two
“Hors”, Horus the Elder, god of light of the invaders, and Horus the Younger, the
son of the goddess Isis.
Hor later was transmogrified into Horus by the Greeks, and is depicted as
fighting a ritual combat with another male deity known as Set. Set is supposed to
be his uncle, the brother of his mother Isis and father Osiris. The combat was
supposed to symbolize the overcoming of darkness or Set, by light, symbolized by
Hor.
In Sanskrit the word ‘sat’ means to destroy by hewing into pieces. In the myth of
Osiris, it was Set who killed Osiris and cut his body into fourteen pieces which
naturally reminds us of the sacrifices of the Moche. However, the word “set” is
also defined as “queen” or “princess” in Egyptian! “Au Set”, known as Isis by the
Greeks, means, “exceeding queen”!
In the myth of this ritual combat, Set tried to mate sexually with Horus; this is
usually interpreted to have been an extreme insult. But the most primitive identity
of the figure Set, before the wavy lines of water or energy became serpents, may
be found in the goddess religion, and this combat, just as with the combat of
Marduk with Tiamat, may have represented the suppression and destruction of the
Goddess religion. Of course, the conquering invaders presented themselves as
“saviors” and their conquest as a triumph of light over darkness!
So it has always been.
Nevertheless, the followers of Hor established the institution of kingship in
Egypt. And, again, marrying the representative of the goddess in order to “steal
her power” was an important part of the assumption of kingship as was recorded in
the story of Solomon - he married an Egyptian Princess. We may justifiably
compare the name of “Hor” to the Hurrians or Horites who came from India to
Sumer.
Around the time of the Second Dynasty, the town of Heliopolis (known to the
Egyptians as Annu!) became the home of a school of scribal priests who also
worshipped a sun god who rode in a boat. In this town they used the name Ra. In
Sanskrit, Ra means royal or exalted on high. This prefix is found in the Sanskrit
word for king, raja and queen, rani. It survives in the German word ragen, to
reach up, in French as roi, meaning king, as well as in the English words royal,
reign and regal.
In the pyramid texts of the Fifth Dynasty, Horus was equated with Ra. Both
Horus and Ra were closely connected, at times competitively, with the right to
kingship. As Ra-Harakhty, Ra is identical with Horus of the Horizon, both
