Horus is considered the god of the sky in ancient Egyptian mythology primarily because he is associated with the heavens and the celestial bodies. Often depicted as a falcon or with a falcon head, he symbolizes the sun and the moon, which travel across the sky. Additionally, Horus represents kingship and protection, embodying the divine authority of the pharaohs who were believed to be his earthly incarnations. His role in the myth of Osiris further solidifies his connection to the sky, as he avenges his father's death and restores order.
