Royal Egyptian Artifact – "حورس" (Ḥūrūs) – "Horus" (granite)

story:

ong ago, before time was measured in reigns and dynasties, a great battle shook the heavens — the battle between Horus, son of Isis and Osiris, and his uncle Set, the god of chaos. Every Egyptian knows the tale of vengeance and justice. But what they don’t tell is what came after.

When Horus defeated Set and claimed his place upon the throne, he was not given peace. Instead, he was gifted a terrible truth: that darkness never dies — it only waits.

So Horus forged a pact. He would not vanish into the heavens like other gods. He would remain — not in form, but in force. His essence was bound to statues crafted by the sacred artisans of Edfu. One among them, the most perfect, was placed in a hidden shrine near the Nile, carved with eyes that never closed and wings that never folded. It was said that through this figure, Horus watched the world.

And the figure did watch.

Material:

Pharaonic Granite:
Refers to a type of granite widely used by the ancient Egyptians during the Pharaonic period (c. 3100 to 30 BC). Granite is an igneous rock composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica, and is known for its hardness and durability. These qualities made it a valuable material in ancient Egypt, especially for the construction of monumental structures, statues, and other timeless artifacts.
