'''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.
