But the stone bust doesn't look much like him, imo.

from:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horus"Brother of Isis
When Ra assimilated Atum into Atum-Ra, Horus became considered part of what had been the Ennead. Since Atum had had no wife, having produced his children by masturbating de facto, Hathor was easily inserted as the mother of the previously motherless subsequent generation of children. However, Horus did not fit in so easily, since if he was identified as the son of Hathor and Atum-Ra in the Ennead, he would then be the brother of the primordial air and moisture, and the uncle of the sky and earth, between which there was initially nothing, which was not very consistent with him being the sun. Instead,
he was made the brother of Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys, as this was the only plausible level at which he could meaningfully rule over the sun and the Pharaoh's kingdom. It was in this form that he was worshipped at Behdet as Har-Behedti (also abbreviated Bebti)."

This is why Faul's new album would have the eye of Horus on it, and why he would want the
London Eye to be named for him. Also implicit with the name Horus is the link to "hours" - Time,
in other words. He is the master of time, or can "see through time". Iamaphoney has emphasized
this connection quite a bit, showing himself as Faul going back in time.
Even in the latest video, "the McCartney Years"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldcv_B898O0from 'JamesPauIMcCartney', we see, near the end, the scene where"Paul" said of 'Ringo'
"With friends like this, who needs life?" speaking of what had happened to Paul.
('Ringo', apparently, had worked with Set, and therefore was linked to Paul's death.)
To be clear: In the mythology, Osiris had been killed by his uncle Set, who sought to gain control
of the kingdom. Wikipedia* tells us: "Osiris is the oldest son of
the Earth god, Geb,
and
the sky goddess, Nut, as well as being brother and husband of Isis,
with Horus being considered his posthumously begotten son."
So in the song "Yer Blues", Paul is clearly referenced as Osiris by who his parents were:
My mother was of
the sky My father was of
the earth But
I am of the universe (Paul/Osiris is a god) And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh, girl you know the reason why
So even tho' he's a god, he can't get no satisfaction.
Getting back to the mythology, "Typically he is also depicted holding the crook and flail
which signify divine authority in Egyptian kings, but which were originally unique to Osiris."
As shown in the Iamaphoney videos.
continuing:
"The origin of Osiris's name is a mystery which forms an obstacle to knowing the pronunciation
of its hieroglyphic form. The majority of current thinking is that the Egyptian name is pronounced
aser where the a is the letter ayin (i.e. a short 'a' pronounced from
the back of the throat as if swallowing)." Somewhat like "Asher".
continuing:
"The myth described Osiris as having been killed by his brother Seth who wanted Osiris' throne.
Isis briefly brought Osiris back to life by use of a spell that she learned from her father.
This spell gave her time to become pregnant by Osiris before he again died. Isis later gave birth to Horus.
As such, since Horus was born after Osiris' resurrection, Horus became thought of as
representing new beginnings. This combination, Osiris-Horus, was therefore a life-death-rebirth
deity, and thus associated with new beginnings...."
"Ram god"[/color]
"Since Osiris
("Paul") was considered dead, as God of the dead,
Osiris' soul, or rather his Ba, was occasionally worshipped in its own right, almost as if it were
a distinct god, especially so in the Delta city of Mendes. This aspect of Osiris was referred
to as Banebdjed (also spelt Banebded or Banebdjedet,
which is technically feminine)
which literally means The ba of the lord of the djed, which roughly means The soul of the lord
of the pillar of stability."
("Paul " as a woman, now, but a spirit.)continuing:
"Ba does not, however, quite mean soul in the western sense, and also has to do with power,
reputation, force of character, especially in the case of a god. Since the ba was associated
with power, and also happened to be a word for ram in Egyptian,
Banebdjed was depicted as a ram, or as Ram-headed."
continuing:
"... Set (Osiris's brother) fooled Osiris into getting into a coffin,
("Yesterday and again
Today") which he then shut, had sealed with lead and threw into the Nile.
Osiris's wife, Isis, searched for his remains until she finally found [his casket]
embedded in a tree trunk,
("Nobody else is in my tree...") which was
holding up the roof of a palace in Byblos on the Phoenician coast. She managed to remove
the coffin and open it, but Osiris was already dead. She... brought him back to life
so he could impregnate her. After they finished, he died again,
so
she hid his body in the desert.
".... Set had been out hunting one night and he came across the body of Osiris.
Enraged, he tore the body into fourteen pieces and scattered them throughout the land.
(the "Butcher cover") Isis gathered up all the parts of the body, less the phallus which [had been] eaten by a fish...
and bandaged them together for a proper burial. The gods were impressed by the devotion of Isis,
and thus restored Osiris to life in the form of a different kind of existence as the god of the underworld."
continuing, remarks about ceremonies honoring Osiris:
"Although there were ethical and ceremonial considerations none of these could compare to
the power of
the divine eucharist[/color], since it was literally believed to be the body (bread) and
blood (ale) of the god."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OsirisNow where was I? ;D
Oh, wait! I get it! Iamaphoney is in the role of Horus, son of Osiris, avenging his father's death.
Hence, he is a son of Paul, just as Bettina Heubbers was a Paul daughter!
