* HilariousInHindsight: One of Gerard Butler's famous roles was leading Spartans against a self-declared God-King who had creepy face-mask wearing bodyguards. In this film, he IS a God-King and commands an army of face-mask wearing mooks.

Horus explains limited flight due to having one eye and his power being granted from Ra hence a different location. There was a fight, a fall, a journey to Set's pyramid while battling snakes and picking up Thoth. There's also Horus lying about fulfilling his deal


* IdiotPlot:
** Bek takes a horse chariot to Horus' hideout from the capital and arrives their in about a day. During the journey back, Horus and Bek opt to walk and forget about the horses even though they have [[RaceAgainstTheClock a time limit of Zaya's imminent arrival at the afterlife judging]].
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Set's law demanded that people amass gold to pay undead judges to enter the afterlife not him personally from what was presented if I remember. Either way, it seems the gold thing is more tribute/honor/worship than anything else.


** Set demands the people to give him tons of riches in exchange for passage to the afterlife. Why demand so much gold if the gods literally bleed gold?
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
That doesn't explain why he even values gold if he can make as much as he wants. Or why Bek and Horus flew to a different spot rather than land where they left their horses.

Set changed the law Osiris gave. He made it so that non-gold bleeding mortals would have to acquire massive amounts of gold to enter the afterlife.
