Horus is an Egyptian god, the son of Isis and Osiris.

Horus and Jesus

The nineteenth-century British poet and author Gerald Massey claimed that Jesus and Horus shared identical mythological origins. Massey's writings influenced various later authors such as Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Tom Harpur, and Acharya S.

Although recognizing some similarities between the narratives attributed to Jesus and Horus, critical scholarship dismisses any variant of the Jesus Myth Theory aimed to establish a direct connection between Horus and Jesus. The cult of Horus however heavily influenced the worship and iconography of the Church.
