[[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]].

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.

[[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.

!!Examples
[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': The Millennium Puzzle has the Eye Of Horus on it. [[spoiler:It's ultimately a SubvertedTrope though since the puzzle contains the soul of Pharaoh Atem, which the Eye is meant to protect.]] The ''Millennium Symbol'' or ''Eye Of Anubis'' though are clearly still based off the Eye Of Horus.
[[AC:Comicbook]]
* ''Comicbook/{{Smite}}'': Ra's throne (for everything else see VideoGames below).
* ''ComicBook/{{Zatanna}}'': When the {{Mummy}} Hassan speaks his SpeechBubbles are filled with Egyptian Hieroglyphs which include the "Eye" and even Ra's sun disk, with neither one actually being words in the Egyptian language just religious symbols.
* ''ComicBook/BlueBeetle'': Being a superhero based on Myth/EgyptianMythology, The Eye of Horus appears as an [[GodIsEvil evil deity]][[note]]Has no apparent relationship with the actual Horus though.[[/note]] that fights this superhero in the Charlton era, but also appears in DC era pre-''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' as described below:
** 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''.
** Creator/DCComics: The Eye returned when it was excavated from an ancient pyramid by Helen Rock, the reincarnation of ComicBook/{{Hawkman}}'s eternal enemy Hath-Set, and was used against ComicBook/InfinityInc
* ''ComicBook/DoctorFate'': Sometimes the "Helmet Of Fate"[[note]]Also known as the "Helmet Of Nabu.[[/note]] is [[http://img11.deviantart.net/a933/i/2015/181/9/2/dr__fate_new_52_v2_32_by_racerbo-d8zcivn.jpg depicted with them over the helmet's eyeholes]]. This makes sense because it's creator Nabu was Egyptian, and without them you wouldn't know of it's relation to Egypt with it looking more like a [[https://img0.etsystatic.com/125/1/6307530/il_340x270.1043301488_p2qu.jpg Greek helmet]].
[[AC:Film]]
* ''Film/NightAtTheMuseum'': The "Eye Of Horus" can sometimes be seen on the ''Tablet Of Ahkmenrah'', which likely make it a example of this trope, unless the "good health" symbolism is being used to mean bring everything to life at night. Though the third film make this even more unlikely with the reveal that the tablet's power comes from the god [[spoiler:Khonsu, the moon god]].
[[AC:Literature]]
* ''Literature/TheKaneChronicles'': In the series' title the word "Kane" is heavily stylized to resemble to the Eye Of Horus; true Horus is a major recurringCharacter, but it's still being used to symbolize the stories roots is Myth/EgyptianMythology.
* ''Literature/{{Theodosia}}'': Though the third book ''Theodosia and the Eyes of Horus'' doesn't follow the trope all of the other ones do often having various letters like the "Js" and "Ss" stylized to resemble the Eye Of Horus.
* ''Literature/{{Reignited}}'': A companion book to the ''Reawakened Series''; which is itself is based on Myth/EgyptianMythology, has a ''Eye Of Horus'' on it's cover.

* ''Literature/TheQueue'': It's present on the book's cover.
* ''Literature/TheAncientEgyptSeries'': The cover of ''The Quest'' has the "Eye Of Horus" present on it.
* ''The Mummy, Or Ramses The Damned'': The page labeled part 1 has the "Eye" on it. Though it could be there to remind the reader that the [[{{Mummy}} Mummies]] were pharaohs, this is unlikely though since the fact that Ramses and [[spoiler:Cleopatra]] were pharaohs has little to do with the story.
* ''Literature/SoulEaterSeries'': The first book in the series ''[[http://images.gr-assets.com/books/1464875155l/30031040.jpg Hidden Blade]]'' possess the "eye" on it's cover, which likely serves as a way to quickly alert the reader to this series' use of Myth/EgyptianMythology.
* ''Literature/FallOfEgyptSeries'': On some covers of the first book ''[[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/510ex2mL1KL._AC_UL320_SR204,320_.jpg Cleopatra's Shadows]]'' the "eye" present.
* Numerous history books such as ''[[http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2525466.Pyramid_Builders Pyramid Builders]]''.
[[AC:Live Action Series]]
* ''[[Franchise/StargateVerse Stargate]]'': Ra's symbol is the "Eye Of Horus" instead of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Ra sun disk]]. This could simply be a mistake on the producers part though with the "Eye" sometimes being mistaken as the "Eye Of Ra"[[note]]Another name of the sun disk.[[/note]].
* ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'': [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], the "''Eye Of Horus'' Locket" is not the proper symbol.
[[AC:Toys]]
* ''Franchise/{{Lego}}'': The '''Vampyre Castle''' of the '''[[http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Monster_Fighters Monster Fighters]]''' series set come with the ''[[http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Part_10546 Mummy Moonstone]]'' piece; which naturally has the "Eye Of Horus" on it, as a reference to [[http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Mummy_(Monster_Fighters) the Mummy]] as opposed to some other Egyptian themed item.
[[AC:VideoGames]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'': Pharah and Ana, the two playable Egyptian characters, have an eye of Horus tattoo. However, Ana [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] the trope since she had it for being a symbol of "protection". Ana's daughter Pharah though seems to [[ZigZaggingTrope zig-zag]] this trope having the symbol to honor her mother's passing[[note]]She thought that Ana was killed at one point.[[/note]] (as opposed to something else), she does; however, also associate the symbol with protection and later being a protector.
