@ardenssolis​​ replied ; She can be both! The beauty of ancient egyptian mythos is that a pharaoh is Ra/Horus based during certain times. Horus when they are an heir, Ra when they are a pharaoh (or Horus depending on whether it is the Old Kingdom, ect., because those timelines put emphasis on certain gods and their roles), and upon their death, they become an incarnation of Osiris, but then also become Ra/Horus when the sun rises once again -- rinse repeat. It's complicated FSFDFSS. ; OH I FORGOT TO MENTION! In the Old Kingdom, they put a lot of emphasis on Anubis being Lord of the Dead, though this was later overshadowed in the New Kingdom by Osiris with Anbusi' role shifting.

         /  OOOOOO I DIDN’T KNOW THIS! I only knew that when a pharaoh came to the throne they were associated/became the manifestation of horus and in death, they became/were associated with Osiris, but i was def not aware that Ra was in consideration, as well as when the sun rises! for some reason my mind completely jumped past my own thoughts in my previous meta in regards to Nito, horus and osiris -thonks- must be my mind being tired from yesterday still RIP- THO i also didn’t know that anubis’ role got later overshadowed in the new kingdom! and when u bring that onto the table, I can see her ‘ears’ looking like pointy jackal ears as a reference to him bc of the time period where nito was said to exist which dates to much older than when the new kingdom started (and with it, Osiris taking the role of anubis)
