Dating to Egypt's 18th Dynasty (1,500 BC) – The Deity known as ''Shed'' was seen as a ''Child God''. Perhaps later associated with a ''young'' Horus – Shed was known to His Followers as ''The Savior''. It was He would guarded and protected them from all forms of illness (of both body and mind). Often portrayed on Temples in the company of snakes and crocodiles, Shed could ''control'' them as well. He is always shown as a Human Child, roughly 10 to 13 years of age, and with shaven head (a sign of His Divinity).
