2、The Eye Of Horus
荷魯斯之眼
Egyptian Mythology
埃及神話
egyptian symbol
Probably one of the most famous Egyptian symbols, the Eye of Horus is mentioned in the Egyptian Book of the Dead and serves as an amulet of protection. It is often combined with the Eye of Ra, which, depending on the circumstance and context, is probably incorrect. The Eye of Horus was said to be a sign of godly power and royal right to the Egyptians, and the symbol was often used as a method of defining their rule and cementing the belief that they were, in fact, gods on Earth.
荷魯斯之眼可能是埃及神話中最著名的象征之一。根據《埃及亡靈書》中提到荷魯斯之眼被當做護身符來使用。在某些情況和背景之下，人們常常把它和太陽神之眼混為一談，但事實上這是不正確的。荷魯斯之眼被認為是上帝力量的一種象征、埃及王室的權力以及一種他們鞏固法規和加強眾神真的就在我們身邊的這種信仰的方法。
The Egyptians believed that the Eye of Horus would guide the pharaoh in the afterlife. Deceased rulers were often buried with a jeweled version of the eye, known as the wadjet, to make sure they were sent to the afterlife properly. In life, the pharaohs used the Eye as a powerful tool to channel the words of the gods.
埃及人相信荷魯斯之眼會指導法老的來生。已逝的統治者們通常與那些以眼鏡蛇而聞名的寶石作點綴的眼睛一同下葬，以此來保證他們會正確進入來生的輪回。在活著的時候，法老們把這眼睛當做接受眾神信息有力工具來使用。
