[[caption-width-right:350:You can tell it's [[AncientEgypt Egyptian]] just by looking at it.]]

The ''Eye Of Horus'' is a symbol from AncientEgypt. In AncientEgypt it served as a symbol for good health, protection, sacrifice and royal power. The symbol is also associated and can be seen with numerous gods, in particular [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horus Horus]]; the TropeNamer, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadjet Wadjet]][[note]]Also, doubles as another name for the ''Eye Of Horus''.[[/note]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra Ra]]. It's also sometimes called the ''Eye Of Ra''[[note]]Technically only the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Ra#Aggressive_and_protective left eye represents Ra while the right represents Horus]], but due to their [[MST3KMantra vast amount of similarities they are often]] [[SadlyMythtaken mistaken for]] [[CriticalResearchFailure each other]].[[/note]]; even though the ''Sun Disk'' was just as likely to be used to represent Ra's "Eye" in AncientEgypt, and has been used as a title for [[DependingOnTheWriter various goddesses]] who worked with Ra in some fashion. Aside from the [[TheChurch temples]] of the after mentioned gods it was also commonly found on the bow of ships and as funerary amulets for [[{{Mummy}} mummies]] in an attempt to protect them. It also may have been the inspiration for the ''[[https://www.thoughtco.com/eye-of-horus-ancient-egyptian-symbol-96013 Eye Of Providence]]'' and the ''[[http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/06/rx-mean-come/ RX symbol]]'', but there's little evidence to support this.

Nowadays, what it originally stood for is all but [[ViewersAreMorons completely forgotten]] and now [[RuleOfSymbolism simply serves as a way to show that something is in some way related to Egypt]], [[UsefulNotes/AncientEgyptianHistory its history]] and [[Myth/EgyptianMythology mythology]]; beyond said symbols existence of course. Naturally if the ''Eye Of Horus'' can be easily be a affiliated with any of the above paragraph it is a SubvertedTrope, with the only exceptions being with royal power a.k.a. the pharaoh and Ra. The pharaoh is excepted from this because it wasn't a symbol they used every day, you'd probably be lucky to even see it in the form of [[CosmeticsTropes eyeliner]]. The god Ra is excepted because his "eye" can be the ''Wadjet''[[note]]Another name for the ''Eye Of Horus''.[[/note]] or the ''Sun Disk'', meaning when the ''Wadjet'' is used it's likely a InvokedTrope or the [[CriticalResearchFailure creator simply didn't know about the]] ''[[CriticalResearchFailure Sun Disk]]''.

Compare and contrast with BuildLikeAnEgyptian where it's the architecture that's Egyptian, though the two may overlap.

** Creator/CharltonComics: The Eye of Horus is an ancient entity that takes on the appearance of a stylized Egyptian green eye. It comes from Egypt and desires to enslave the entire world. Those it enslaves become hawk-headed creatures who do its bidding. The Eye battled the former wielder of the Blue Beetle Scarab and thus was imprisoned for millennia to come. In the 20th century, Dan Garrett the first Blue Beetle encountered this weapon and defeated it by speaking its true name in vowels - ''The Eye of Ra''.

[[AC:Literature]]
