In Ancient Egypt the evolution of divine kingship enabled the sovereign to claim that his status as rule was approved of by the chief gods and that furthermore he himself was a god and one of their number. Horus relieved the first necessary by a prosperous legal processes before the gods: the pharaoh therefore was in a excellent position, being seen as a demonstration of the living Horus on the throne of Egypt.
According to the Turin Canon the late Predynastic rules of Egypt were followers of Horus. By the time of the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt in 3000 BC the ruler was Horus. On the palette in Cairo Museum, which shows King Narmer, the first ruler of a for good merged Egyptian state, the god Horus is shown holding a rope that passes through the nose of the out northern rival, symbolising the kings victory over the Delta. From this period ahead the Kings name is enclosed by the symbol of the Horus falcon, surmounting a rectangular form which has a base part indicating a hard wall. This was called the serekh or proclaimer of the pharaoh, whose make was written in the upper section of the rectangle.
