The Contending of Horus and Set

[Hadit]

Please do stay on focus guys, it would be a shame for this to devolve into an argument, as it's such an interesting topic where you've both made good points. [thumbup]

I'm intrigued and may stop by later, if I can recall the bits I'm rusty on from this.

I still await your return!

Not trying to poke holes, but this is one of the latest myths in the pantheon, and rewrites a lot of what existed before the Osirian cult became popular.

Just saying; While the story has its merits and occult references, I wouldn't base this as an actual account of these Gods. The lore is just too convoluted.

Also, as a note, Osiris used to be a negative entity that would attack Ra during his nightly passage through the Duat. He was only promoted to Godhood when the common-man started feeling left out of religious ceremonies, as they had no access to the temples of Ra.

Some stuff to think about.

Hadit, you did a wonderful job of outlining this tale.

Thanks for relinking this. I did read it once in the past, but it's only recently I've been able to comprehend the pantheon associations with what was written there.
Things are making sense.

Ah, sorry, Hadit, was busy with exams and I forgot. [blush]

I'll post tomorrow as I've still to catch up a bit.
