Netherworld Explained: Eye of Horus
Netherworld Explained: In the Pyramid Texts two “evil eyes” are mentioned, which seal the door-catch. It was believed that the sun and the moon were the eyes of the god Horus of whom it was written that “when he opens his eyes he fills the universe with light and when he shuts them darkness appears” Protective eye amulets were worn by both the living and the dead; the eye represented a unified Egypt, and action, anger or protection.
