I think that's the point. Set is also the god of foreigners and Foreigners are seen as unknown and unfamiliar to the natives. So Set's head being practically an unknown animal reflects his aspect as the God of the Unknown people outside the realm of familiarity.

There is a joke about what kind of animal Set's head is, in the TV show Stargate SG-1. The show focused heavily on mythology as ancient aliens, starting with the Egyptian gods and branching out from there. In the joke, three warriors, one each in service to the gods Horus, Apophis, and Set are met on what is not yet a battlefield, but may soon become one. Each wears an elaborate helmet shaped like their god's animal-face, a hawk for Horus, a sepant for Apophis, and whatever the heck Set's face is supposed to be for his warrior. It is a tense moment. Apophis's warrior's eyes glow. Horace's warrior's beak glistens, Set's warrior's nose drips.

After. In the finale of Horus' contest with Set, he got his eye scratched out. But he managed to cut off Set's nuts as well. Horus then banished Set into the infertile desert, because he himself, had become infertile.

Set ripped out one of Horus’s eyes, and Horus tore off one of Set’s testicles. That said, Set is not infertile. He does in fact have several different children depending upon the myths, including but not limited to the following: Sebek (the Crocodile God he fathered with Neith), Serket (the Scorpion Goddess he fathered with Neith), Wepwawet (the Wolf God he fathered with Nephthys), Thoth (in some stories Thoth emerges from Set’s brow), and Anubis (some stories have him as Set’s child by Nephthys, others say he’s Osiris’s bastard born from Nephthys’s infidelity, and others claim he was the son of both Set and Osiris through Nephthys).

Fun fact: Osiris and Isis mariage was mimiced by the Pharaohs who also wed their sisters. However it is heavily speculated that this was more of a front show becuase religion was extremlly important and ancient egyptians society. This is because the various dynasties overall lack the malformations and mutations due to incest, like with the hapsburgs, and so the childrens of the pharaohs most likelly came from his concubines.

[@barbiquearea]

I heard that was the same excuse Caligula had for taking his sisters as mistresses because he saw himself as a god, and just in Egyptian mythology, the Greco-Roman pantheon also practiced sibling incest.

A fun fact about Byblos: It was a very important city in the ancient near East for the simple reason that it was the only place around that had a forest of cedar trees, or any trees really that weren't palm trees which don't make for great building material. Cedar wood in contrast was an excellent building material which was strong and barely rotted. Byblos would earn a privileged place as a trading partner of Egypt as Egypt needed cedar wood to build boats, temples, and coffins for the elite. Byblos' prolific position in trade is actually reflected in the etymology of the word "Bible". The ancient Greeks bought all their Egyptian papyrus from Byblos and because of this "Byblos" became the Greek word for paper/ papyrus and "biblio" the word for book.

[@mattkuhn6634]

One of my favorite things about Egyptian mythology is that ancient Egypt as a distinct culture existed for so long that we have radically different versions of gods and stories from different time periods. For instance, in some time periods, Ra and Horus are merged into a single god, Ra-Horakhty. In the New Kingdom, the hidden god Amun gained prominence, and so he was merged with Ra into Amun-Ra. One of my other favorite things is that nobody actually knows what the heck animal is associated with Set. Egyptologists simply refer to it as the "set animal." Some theorize that it represents an unknown, now-extinct animal, others that it's just a jackal that has been altered so it doesn't conflict with Anubis, and others think it may represent a specific breed of dog. One thing that complicates this though is that Set may be one of the oldest attested gods of Egypt - some scholars believe he is depicted on the Mace Head of King Scorpion, dating to around 4000 BCE, towards the end of the pre-dynastic period. Other scholars disagree with that association though, saying that the god depicted there is actually a different god. Whatever the case though, the representation of Set does not change over time, which suggests that he was intentionally depicted as this specific animal from first appearance.

[@aroh9632]

I remember a version that was told while on a trip in egypt that Horus, Anubis and Sobek are Osirises kids but Isis only birthed Horus the others were half siblings. But she accepted them as her sons. And Horus defeated Seth once by literally topping him in sex XD

Fun Fact: Yu-Gi-Oh's infamous _Exodia the Forbidden One_ is based on the Mythology of Osiris; The fact that Exodia is separated into multiple pieces and you automatically win when all five are in-hand directly references how Osiris was split apart by Set and how Isis recovered his body. While _Slifer the Sky Dragon_ is also referred to as Osiris in the original Japanese content, Nut is probably the more accurate deity for Slifer to be compared to.

[@barbiquearea]

The name "Osiris" was actually a version of his name that we got from Greek. "Wsjr" (or pronounced "Wesir") is what his name actually comes out as in written Egyptian form.

[@taimunozhan]

It's important to remember that Egyptian Hieroglyphic (and Demotic) writing didn't indicate vowels, so more often than not we are not sure of exactly how Ancient Egyptian names were pronounced. We often use what is know as "Egyptological pronunciations" which is a modern invention that fills the vowels in according to certain rules, most commonly adding E's to break consonant clusters. That's what gives us "Wesir" from wsyr (Osiris) or "Ramses" from rꜥmss. In some cases, however, linguists have been able to reconstruct the original pronunciation with some reasonable confidence thanks to transcriptions in other languages that did write vowels (including Ancient Greek, Akkadian, Sumerian, Hittite) and the way the words evolved into the Coptic languages, descendants of Ancient Egyptian that survived until modern times (now mostly used as a liturgical language for Christians in Egypt). In the case of Osiris, everything points at something along the lines of 'Usire' (that'd be approximately oo-SEE-reh for an English speaker).

[@krityaan]

We don't know how it's pronounced at all. The ancient hieroglyphs didn't have written vowels - so the pronunciation is entirely up to assumptions.
