Close-Up of Kanye West's Horus Chain, Pyramid Ring
By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 06/29/2010

Kanye West's Horus Chain and Pyramid Ring

If you watched Sunday night's (June 27) BET Awards, you probably caught Kanye West returning to the stage with his first live TV performance since last year.

During the stage show, he performed his brand new single, "Power" ... and rocked some crazy jewelry.

(Watch Kanye performing "Power" at the BET Awards right here )

We were wondering what that chain was all about, and 'Ye explained it and posted some close-ups of both the chain and ring he rocked on his blog (KanyeWest.com) this week.

"Horus is one of the oldest and most significant deities in the Ancient Egyptian religion, who was worshipped from at least the late Predynastic period through to Greco-Roman times. Horus served many functions in the Egyptian pantheon, most notably being the god of the Sky, god of War and god of Protection," the rapper/producer wrote of the accessories.

Nothing more is known about the pieces.

    You're right Just Someone. Some keyboard conspiracy theorist warrior is soon to 'explain'.

  • Otis Linkman

    Horus is where these white people got the idea of Jesus, according to what I've been told.

  • Jay Ova

    Kayne is a devil worshipper. Horus was a man worshipped as a god along with his mother and father. the hip hop crowd is mostly ignorant. should be ashamed to not know this.

    who gives a fuck what the man wears. Quit hating on him, he can do or say whatever the fuck he wants, its a free country and he definitely can pick whatever fucking religion he wants. At the end of the day he's not putting food on my plate or paying my bills so he can do whatever the fuck he wants.

    Ya should grow the fuck, at least he;s not wearing some boring diamond chain made from blood diamonds

  • metatron

    Horus was not satan his story is the same as jesus not lucifer and his story was before the pages of the bible were written. Read The book of the Dead and research it before making bogus claims with out facts or he say she say.

  • K>L>B

    Really what it is power…just like his song said…the egyptians had tremendous power which they channeled through spirits hence in exodus when moses and aaron preformed their spirtual acts channeled throught the holy spirit…the egpytians duplicated them showing that had knowledge of that. what do you think true masonry is…the study of egyptians science, theology, and alchemhy. so think about it. its way bigger than what any of us even want to believe.
