The '''Horite''' people of Lotan (Apep) were sworn enemies of El-Ra (and originally Set too) though claiming descent from the Horus King Pharaohs of Mitzraim. They were conquered by the Edomites and enjoyed a brief stint in power over Egypt as the Greater Hyksos kings.
Horus (the elder) was one of the sons of Geb (Apep/Lotan) including along with Set, and Osiris. His evil pet Apep attacked El-Ra, but was defeated by Set as the servant of Ra. In time Horus and Osiris took over the role of Ra, and Set came to be associated with the evil Apepinstead. Akhenaten tried to restore the ancient religion of El-Ra but failed.
