i saw a wild Africa docu recently that had an emu type bird in it and it
is the first actual creature that had the verticle flat topped ear thingys
that the Set animal is known for. they looked like decorative feather
growths. wish i could recall the name of the bird. the Set snout is pure
south African aardvark, which may make sense since Set worship is given a
Southern origin. the eye is serpent, probably Garden of Eden python...
