	==Project HORUS==		==Project HORUS==
	The history and objectives of HORUS to this day remain a complete mystery. ~~It is assumed that~~ the ~~Council of Funding Nations had knowledge of this secret operation but~~ it ~~is impossible to determine who were the entities originally responsible for the construction of~~ the ~~House of HORUS, as its main base was called, or its original propose~~.		The history and objectives of HORUS to this day remain a complete mystery without any verified confirmation of the few information available. The first rumors about HORUS appeared during 1999 although at the time it was merely a name mentioned on bulletin boards all over the Internet.

	The significance of its name could give a few indications of the functions it perfomed. Horus was one of the major gods of Ancient Egypt, the son of Osiris, the god of the afterlife, and his sister Isis, the goddess of fertility. Horus was associated with war, the sky and was usually represented by a falcon. As ~~you will read~~ further ahead all of those are related with the ~~role~~ that the House of HORUS performed during the war.		'''And it became immediately associated with the so called 'UFOs' and the supposed 'aliens' - R.

	What is known is that ~~the House of~~ HORUS merely changed its name to X-COM in 1999 and started to have a more active and exposed role under their adquired cover. And there is reason to believe that after X-COM was officially decommissioned the HORUS project went back to its underground activities and is still operating today.		It is unknown if the Council of Funding Nations had previous knowledge of this secret operation and it is also impossible yet to determine who were the entities originally responsible for the construction of the House of HORUS, the name of its main base, or their original agenda.

			The significance of its name could give a few indications of the functions it perfomed. Horus was one of the major gods of Ancient Egypt, the son of Osiris, the god of the afterlife, and his sister Isis, the goddess of fertility. Horus was associated with war, the sky and was usually represented by a falcon. As described further ahead all of those are related with the roles that the House of HORUS performed during the war since of them can be associated with the facilities described at the base. A few theories have been put forward considering this information to explain the term HORUS as an acronym but there is no consensus on what it might describe.

			What is known is that HORUS merely changed its name to X-COM in 1999 and started to have a more active and exposed role under their adquired cover. And there is reason to believe that after X-COM was officially decommissioned the HORUS project went back to its underground activities and is still operating today.
