Horus Horus was one of the most important gods to the Egyptians. He is the god of sky His head is of a falcon with a red and white crown.

The sign of Horus, which is a black outline of an eye, is often used for Egypt. It symbolises healing. After a battle with his uncle, Horus lost his eye but it healed again.

Isis Isis was the goddess of health, marriage and wisdom. She is shown as a woman with a headdress shaped just like a throne and she always carries an Ankh. An Ankh is the symbol of life used a lot in Egyptian religion. She is the daughter of Geb and Nut In the pictures of her she is most like a human but occasionally she has a headdress with cow horns.
