Harakhte, whose name meant "Horus of the Horizon", and who was also called "Horus of the Two Horizons", was the form which Horus took when his early characteristics as a god of light were emphasized. He was identified with Ra as he made his daily journey from the eastern to the western horizon, and especially with his Khepri and Atum aspects. The roles of the two gods as solar and as royal deities became inextricably mixed, and under their combined authority Ra-Harakhte held sway over all Egypt. He was represented as a falcon or a falcon-headed man wearing the solar disk and triple crown or the uraeus and the atef crown. |
