The Myth of Horus and the Eye of Restoration

The Eye of Horus originates from Egyptian mythology, symbolizing the sacrifice made by Horus who lost his eye during a battle with his uncle Seth to avenge his father, Osiris. Structurally, the symbol is often compared to the anatomy of the pineal gland in the human brain, leading to modern interpretations that it represents the "third eye" or the seat of the soul found in various ancient spiritual traditions. Furthermore, the eye functions as a mathematical system where its individual parts represent fractions summing to nearly a whole, while some scholars also link the myth to broader themes of resurrection and the Great Flood.
