The Origins of Hieroglyphics

Set was depicted with the head of an animal that is open to fierce debate as to actually what it really is. The animal has a long, downward curving no and there are two rectangular ears, which stretch upwards. We can also see that in its full bodyd form on egyptian reliefs and hieroglyphs, with a body of something that looks like a slim dog. Egyptologists have resigned to calling this thing the set animal due to the fact that they cannot agree on what it actually represents from the natural world.
