During Pharaoh Khafre the second largest pyramid of the Giza complex was built. Originally 145 meters (475ft) high and still today some of the limestone chasing is left near the top. In the valley temple 23 diorite statues of Khafre was found, all broken apart from this one today in the Egyptian Museum.
Here we see the face of Khafre and behind him a falcon folding its wings on each side of his head. This falcon is the god Horus, son of Osiris and Isis.
After Osiris was killed by his brother Seth and became ruler in Am Duat (the kingdom of the dead), Horus became the new ruler of mankind. In difference to previous gods and goddesses Horus did not rule directly, but incarnated in a human being and ruled through this human who then became a half-god or a Per-o (or pharaoh which is the biblical word we are used to).
Here we can clearly see Horus whispering state secrets to Pharaoh Khafre.
