Video - The Eye of Horus: Symbol of Protection and Good Health

Do you know the story of the Eye of Horus? Let's explore this powerful Egyptian symbol. The Eye of Horus, or 'Udjat', is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power, and good health, representing the eye of the falcon god Horus, son of Osiris and Isis. According to mythology, Horus lost his left eye in a battle against his uncle Seth, the god of chaos, while avenging his father Osiris's death. Thoth, the god of wisdom and magic, restored the eye, symbolizing healing, integrity, and rebirth. Ancient Egyptians believed the Eye of Horus had protective powers, using it in amulets to safeguard pharaohs in the afterlife and ward off evil. The eye was also used in healing and magical rituals. Each part of the Eye of Horus represents a fraction and has mathematical significance, symbolizing the human senses: sight, hearing, smell, thought, taste, and touch. The Eye of Horus is commonly found in Egyptian jewelry and artifacts and remains a symbol of protection and good luck.
