Well there are a lot of symbols in the Hieroglyphic language that are related to the gods. For example, the symbol for the letter "H" is a falcon, which comes from the symbol for Horus, which is represented by a slightly different looking falcon. The same is said for the symbol of man, which comes from the symbol of Amun-Ra, who is the ruler of man.
