Horus

"Horus, also known as Heru, Har, Her, or Hor in Ancient Egyptian, is one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities who served many functions, most notably as the god of kingship, healing, protection, the sun, and the sky. He was worshipped from at least the late prehistoric Egypt until the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt . . . He was most often depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner falcon or peregrine falcon, or as a man with a falcon head." [Horus, Wikipedia]

Gods like Horus still dwell in the ruins of Thebes and Memphis, or bide in the crumbling tombs below the Valley of Kings. [RB Fane]

Sebek appeared with a rod of gold, set with the seal of the Eye of Horus [RB Sebek]. "The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power from deities, in this case from Horus or Ra" [Horus, Wikipedia].

The Probilski Foundation had a statue of Horus of the falcon-beak. [RB Strange]
