Was god horus the ruler of the dead?

Horus was not the ruler of the dead in ancient Egyptian mythology; that role was primarily held by Osiris. Horus was associated with the sky, kingship, and protection, often depicted as a falcon. He is known as the son of Osiris and Isis and played a significant role in the mythological narrative of the struggle for the throne of Egypt. Osiris, on the other hand, was revered as the god of the afterlife and resurrection.
