Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Horus-who-unites-the-two-lands is the only deity in Dendara who is depicted in three absolutely different, yet complementary forms: serpent, falcon, and man. He encompasses the terrestrial reign, he rules the south and north, the east and west. Yet, at Dendara, where the female principle is celebrated, this royalty takes second place.

English summary: Horus-who-unites-the-Two-Lands is the only deity in Dendara who is depicted in three absolutely different, yet complementary forms: serpent, falcon, and man. He encompasses the terrestrial reign, he rules the south and north, the east and west. Yet, at Dendara, where the female principle is celebrated, this royalty takes second place. French description: Harsomtous est la seule divinite qui, a Dendara, soit figuree sous trois formes absolument differentes et cependant complementaires: serpent, faucon, homme. Le serpent des origines s’adjoint bientot le faucon maitre des immensites celestes; egalement devenu homme, Harsomtous englobe naturellement la royaute terrestre dans le champ de sa souverainete. Le faucon est un incarnation d’Horus, ses yeux representant le soleil et la lune, il domine le sud et le nord, l’orient et l’occident. A Dendara ou est exaltee la primaute feminine, cette royaute pluri-millenaire dont atteste le Roi-Serpent passe toutefois au deuxieme plan. Somtous, “l’unificateur du pays”, apparait des l’Ancient Empire pour presider a cette fusion du Delta et de la Vallee qui constituera l’objectif politique recurrent des maitres du pays du Nil. Cependant, sa premiere representation humaine n’apparait que sous Montouhotep, un souverain qui a contribue plus qu’un autre a unir les Deux Terres.
