(gods in blue)

 

        “In the year 363 His Majesty, Ra, the Holy One, the Falcon of the Horizon,

        the Immortal Who Forever Lives, was in the land of Khenn (Nubia).

        He was accompanied by his warriors

        for his enemies had conspired against their lord in the district,

        which has been called Ua-Ua (northern Nubia) since that day.

        Ra went there in his boat, his companions with him.

        He landed in the district of the Throne Place of Horus,

        in the western part of the district, east of the House of Khennu,

        the one which has been called Royal Khennu from that time on.

        Horus, the Winged Measurer, came to the boat of Ra.

        He said to his forefather: ‘O Falcon of the Horizon,

        I have seen the enemy conspire against thy Lordship,

        to take the Luminous Crown unto themselves’…”

 

And Horus came out to greet his forefather and reported to him that the enemywas gathering its forces.

        “Then Ra, the Holy One, the Falcon of the Horizon,

        said unto (grandson) Horus, the Winged Measurer:

        ‘Lofty issue of Ra, my begotten:

        Go quickly, knock down the enemy whom you have seen’ …”

 

So instructed, Horus took off in the Winged Disc to search for the enemy from the skies:

        “So Horus, the Winged Measurer,

        flew up toward the horizon in the Winged Disc of Ra;

        it is therefore that he has been called from that day on

        “Great God, Lord of the Skies” …”

 

From the skies, flying in the Winged Disc, Horus spotted the enemy forces and unleashed upon them a “storm” that could neither be seen nor heard, yet it brought instantaneous death:

        “In the heights of the skies, from the Winged Disc,

        he saw the enemies, and came upon them from behind.

        From his forepart he let loose against them a Storm

        which they could neither see with their eyes nor hear with their ears.

        It brought death to all of them in a single moment;

        not a being remained alive through this.

        Then Horus, the Winged Measurer, reappeared in the Winged Disc,

        which shined in many colors;

        and he came back to the boat of Ra, the Falcon of the Horizon.

        And Thoth said: ‘O Lord of the gods!

        The Winged Measurer has returned in the great Winged Disc,

        shining with many colors’ …”

 

        “Therefore is he named from that day on “The Winged Measurer,”

        And they named after Horus, the Winged Measurer,

        the city of Hut “Behutet” from that day on …”

 

Behutet, which was granted to Horus as a prize for his victory, was the very city of Edfu, which has been dedicated to Horus ever since.

 

Hovering in the sky, Horus called on Ra to scout the land below:

        “And Horus said: “Advance, O Ra!

        Look for the enemies who are lying below, upon the land!’

        Then Ra, the Holy One, traveled forth;

        and Ashtoreth (Ashur) was with him.

        And they looked for the enemies upon the land;

        but each one of them was hidden …”

 

Since the enemies on the land were hidden from sight, Ra had an idea:

       “And Ra said unto the gods accompanying him:

        ‘Let us guide our vessel toward the water,

        for the enemy lies in the land.’

        And they called the waters “The Traveled Waters” from that day on …”

 

Horus was in need of a waterborne vessel. So they gave him a boat,

        “and called it Mak-A (Great Protector) unto this day …”

 

It was then that the first battle involving mortal men ensued:

        “But the enemies too went into the waters,

        making themselves as crocodiles and hippopotami,

        and they were striking at the boat of Ra, the Falcon of the Horizon …”

 

        “It was then that Horus, the Winged Measurer, came along with his helpers,

        those who served as warriors, each one called by name,

        with the Divine Iron and a chain in their hands,

        and they beat off the crocodiles and hippopotami.

        And they hauled up 651 enemies to that place;

        they were killed in sight of the city …”

 

        “And Ra, the Falcon of the Horizon, said unto Horus, the Winged Measurer:

        ‘Let this place be known as the place where thine victory

         in the southlands has been established.’ …”

 

the victory of Horus seemed complete; and Thoth called for a celebration:

        “Then Thoth said unto the other gods:

        ‘O Gods of Heaven, let your hearts rejoice!

        O Gods of Earth, let your hearts rejoice!

        The young Horus has brought peace,

        having performed extraordinary feats in this campaign’ …”

 

It was then that the Winged Disc was adopted as the emblem of Horus victorious:

        “It is from that day that the metal emblems of Horus have existed.

        It was Horus who had fashioned as his emblem the Winged Disc,

        placing it upon the forepart of the boat of Ra.

        The goddess of the north and the goddess of the south,

        represented as two serpents, he place alongside.

        And Horus stood behind the emblem, upon the boat of Ra,

        the Divine Iron and the chain in his hand …”

 

 

…peace was not yet at hand. As the company of gods kept advancing northward,

        “they glimpsed two brightnesses on a plain southeast of Thebes.

        And Ra said to Thoth:

        ‘This is the enemy; let Horus slaughter them…’

        And Horus made a great massacre among them …”

 

…with the aide of the army of men he had trained and armed, Horus was victorious; and Thoth kept naming the locations after the successful battles…

 

For several days the gods advanced northward, —Horus keeping watch from the skies in the Winged Disc, Ra and his companions sailing down the Nile, and the Metal People guarding the flanks on land.

        “Then the enemies distanced themselves from him, toward the north.

        They placed themselves in the water district,

        facing the back-sea of the Mediterranean ;

        and their hearts were stricken with fear of him.

        But Horus, the Winged Measurer,

        followed close behind them in the boat of Ra,

        the Divine Iron (alien weaponry technology) in his hand.

        And all his Helpers, armed with weapons of iron forged,

        were staged all around …”

 

But the attempt to surround and entrap the enemies did not succeed:

        “For four days and four nights he roamed the waters in pursuit of them,

        without seeing even one of the enemies …”

 

Ra then advised him to go up again in the Winged Disc, and this time Horus was able to see the fleeing enemies;

        “he hurled his Divine Lance (alien technology) after them and he slew them,

        and performed a great overthrow of them.

        He also brought 142 enemy prisoners to the forepart of the boat of Ra, …”

 

where they were quickly executed.

 

The Edfu temple inscription now shifts to a new panel…The enemies that had managed to escape

        “directed themselves by the Lake of the North,

        setting themselves toward the Mediterranean,

        which they desired to reach by sailing through the water district.

        But the god smote their hearts (with fear),

        and when they reached the middle of the waters as they fled,

        they directed themselves from the western lake

        to the waters which connect with the lakes of the district Mer,

        in order to join themselves there

        with the enemies who were the Land of Seth …”

 

Seth suggested that the gods’ deliberations be recessed so as to give him a chance to discuss the problem peacefully with his newly appeared nephew. He invited Horus to

        “come, let us pass a happy day in my house, …”

 

        “And when it was eventide, the bed was spread for them,

        and the twain lay thereon.

        And in the night Seth caused his member to become stiff,

        and he made it go between the loins of Horus. …”

 

Seth demanded…Horus be disqualified…the seed of Seth was now in him, entitling him to succeed, not precede, Seth! Now it was the turn of Horus to surprise the gods. When Seth poured out his semen,

        “I caught the seed between my hands …”

 

        “Not only is Seth’s seed not in me,

        but my seed is in him.

        It is Seth who has been disqualified! …”

 

Seth did not wait…Only a fight to the bitter end could now settle the issue, he shouted as he left.

According to the Edfu temple inscriptions, the first face to face battle between Horus and Seth took place at the “Lake of the Gods”, thereafter known as the “Lake of Battle.”

Horus…hit Seth with his Divine Lance…captured him and brought him before Ra.

        “His spear was in his (Seth’s) neck,

        and the legs of the evil one were chained,

        and his mouth had been closed by a blow

        from a club of the god (Horus) …”

 

Isis had pity on her brother-in-law Seth, and set him free.

…infuriated Horus…The texts describe a battle that raged far and wide, and the first to be hit was Horus—struck by a bolt of light from Seth’s vehicle. The Nar lost one of its “eyes” and Horus continued to fight from the Winged Disc of Ra…he shot a “harpoon” at Seth; now Seth was hit, and lost his testicles…

 

Seth, having lost his testicles, could no longer have offspring…And so Geb

        “Lord Earth , gave his heritage to Horus…”

 

the whole of Egypt. To Seth a domain away from Egypt was to be given…

       Horus is triumphant in the presence of the whole company of the gods.

        The sovereignty over the world hath been given unto him,

        and his dominion is in the uttermost parts of Earth.

        The throne of the god Geb hath been adjudged unto him,

        along with the rank which had been founded by the god Shu…”

 

This legitimization, the Papyrus went on to say:

        “Hath been formalized by decrees (lodged) in the Chamber of Records;

        It hath been inscribed upon a metal tablet

        according to the commandments of thy father Ptah (Enki)

        Gods celestial (Igigi space truckers)

        and gods terrestrial (on Earth Colony) transfer themselves

        to the services of thy son Horus.

        They follow him to the Hall of Decrees.

        He shall lord over them…”
