Egyptian God Set


                  Set, also know as Seth, is the Egyptian God of storms, deserts, and chaos. He is the son of Geb and Nut (deities of Earth and sky). His siblings include Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys. Set marries his sister Nephthys. Not only is Set the explanation for earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other forms of extreme weather, he is best known for killing his brother. This leads to many conflicts between him and his nephew as his nephew wants revenge on him. Even though he kills his own brother, he is said to have a good heart. He protects the sun god, Ra, every night on her voyage across the sea. It is also said that he helps lead the dead to heaven. For a god of such violent things, he has a generous heart.
