That is right.

This is a 8-20 ages game right? And anyone have anymore info on it?

Darling! Use your noggin! Would horse name a horse after a terrorist group?! Do some research, she is an Egyptian Goddess, not a terrorist group. Either way, that *ISNT* their name! the news just shortened it so they could have it in articles.

Take from Wikipedia:

Isis (/ˈaɪsɪs/; Ancient Greek: Ἶσις; original Egyptian pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset"[1]) is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt. She was first worshiped in Ancient Egyptian religion, and later her worship spread throughout the Roman empire and the greater Greco-Roman world. Isis is still widely worshiped by many pagans today in diverse religious contexts; including a number of distinct pagan religions, the modern Goddess movement, and interfaith organizations such as the Fellowship of Isis.

Isis was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves, sinners, artisans and the downtrodden, but she also listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats and rulers.[2] Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus, the falcon-headed deity associated with king and kingship (although in some traditions Horus's mother was Hathor). Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children.

The name Isis means "Throne".[3] Her headdress is a throne. As the personification of the throne, she was an important representation of the pharaoh's power. The pharaoh was depicted as her child, who sat on the throne she provided. Her cult was popular throughout Egypt, but her most important temples were at Behbeit El-Hagar in the Nile delta, and, beginning in the reign with Nectanebo I (380–362 BCE), on the island of Philae in Upper Egypt.

In the typical form of her myth, Isis was the first daughter of Geb, god of the Earth, and Nut, goddess of the Sky, and she was born on the fourth intercalary day. She married her brother, Osiris, and she conceived Horus with him. Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when his taken was taken by Set. Using her magical skills, she restored his body to life after having gathered the body parts that had been strewn about the earth by Set.


So, I hope this clears up *everything* about this. Again, logic, darlings... Logic.. There is a reason we have it in school.. .-.

You need to check your facts. Isis was around loooooong before some group used the acronym of ISIS. The idea that this new divine might be named for ISIS is absurd, sorry.

@Atlantis : No, the group's name is not ISIS, it was shortened by the news. Check your facts.

Thank you..!!

Oh my gosh! I am so realived I googled searched 12 times what isis was and all I got was a terrorist group sorry for kinda freaking out! I really was worried thank you guys for the help!

Dont like the name of the divine. Isis ? Are you kidding me? Terrorist name for a such beautiful horse..


At my dog training class, there was a dog named Isis, and immediately I thought. "HORRID Doggy Mom!" because all you hear in the news is about that awful group. But, I kept thinking, "Now, wait, this lady is much older than me, and you would think she would have more sense to name this dog after a terrorist group." And after further thinking, I thought. "Oh, and Egyptian God is called Isis!" So, logic, Kaesys, do you think Howrse would really name a horse after that group? Logic, darling. :3


^^^^^ As I stated earlier, apparently no one had seen this comment and several others..

Yes ma'am.... direct quote coming up.

"it’s the “Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant,” or ISIL. To others—among them the New York Times—it’s the “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria” (or in some cases “Greater Syria”), or ISIS."

I do know what I mean, thanks. Acronyms.

I chihuahua... I didn't mean to start a argument
*face palm*

@Atlantis : Mmk, there are some people drifting in and out of here that don't know what it stands for. Thanks. ;3

Nah girl we weren't arguing, at least in my opinion!



I've been dealing with so many people who don't remember Isis the goddess, it's really no problem. I have my head screwed on straight, I keep my mouth shut when I don't know the real deal (;

This is a game for all ages, usually 13-113 + rather than younger

@atlantis
Ill keep that in mind next time. Thanks

Okay, don't forget to use spoiler tags!

And don't jump to conclusions about names This game borrows a lot from Greek and Norse mythology, and that is where most of the names come from.

No, we weren't arguing! We were a ways off. XD

And yeah, at first I thought of "Iris" from Percy Jackson, and then I was like "No, No, it's his other book!" Lol... It's confusing, but at least it's settled. Hopefully.

Okay, no more about where the name Isis comes from The meaning of a name is hardly a spoiler, it is?

Oops, I didn't mean spoiler rages.. Grr...

Lol yep! So to change the subject.... Anyone know when the next great challenge is?

Does anyone know when to grate challenge starts?

That graphic has been there for a very long time. It doesn't mean anything
