I meant "originals" as in the original source material. For instance, if someone claimed that in Christianity Jesus could fly like Superman, I'd ask where in the gospels does this take place.
A similar thing is true for Horus.

Nonetheless it would be very suspicious if the alleged titles really existed and all that professional literature that talks about Horus and his titles never mention it. Some of the titles are at best highly suspicious/tenuous given what we know of Egyptian culture. For instance, "the Lord." He was called that in the sense that he was considered a deity, but not much else. Also, “God” is often capitalized, but Horus was not any monotheistic deity.

Methinks you assume too much. One, Massey is hopelessly outdated. Second, a number of copycat facts distributed in that era turned out to be just plain false. Third, names by themselves (surprisingly) mean nothing, given the commonality of various phrases that occur without borrowing. Fourth, don't forget the suspcious nature and likely misleading terms, those were (and are, in some circles) pretty common too among christ-mythers.
