Debra Taylor+FollowWhy the Eye of Horus Is EverywhereEver notice that mysterious eye on ancient Egyptian stuff? That’s the Eye of Horus, and it’s basically the OG good luck charm. Legend says Horus lost and got back his eye in a wild family feud, so the symbol became all about healing, protection, and wholeness.

No wonder it’s survived 3,000+ years! #AncientEgypt #EyeOfHorus #HistoryFacts #Mythology #FunFact #Science185Share
