Falcon of the Rising Sun

The myth

The Egyptians saw the sun change form over the day. According to World History Encyclopedia, Ra was Ra-Horakhty in the morning, Amun-Ra at noon and Atum in the evening. Ra-Horakhty came from the merging of Ra with Horus and was shown as a falcon-headed man wearing the double crown or the sun disk, a god who sailed the sky by day. That is why the falcon was the bird of dawn. This card's falcon, first to see the sun and last to lower its eyes, is a MYTHENOR creation.

Why it has this power

An uncommon level 5 Bird of Light with 1800 ATK and 1500 DEF. It shines under Sun and Scarab, the same constellations as Kheperu, the heart of the sun: Sun beats Moon and Scarab beats Leviathan. With the Golden Falcon Wings, which give Birds +1000, it becomes a serious threat.

In the New Kingdom, the Great Sphinx of Giza was called Horemakhet, Horus of the Horizon.
