Son of Isis and Osiris, as believed by the ancient Egyptians, Horus was important being the god of the sky. The Egyptians believed that: Horus was very important until a conflict arose with a rival god, Seth. The two fought for the throne of Egypt. In a fierce battle, Horus lost one of his eyes. It was then restored. He had won the battle against Seth. He had gained the role of protecting the Egyptians and guiding the living Egyptians. Often you see the "Eye of Horus" as a popular Egyptian symbol. He is the protector of Egypt.
