    ASSIGNMENT

    ANCIENT EGYPTIAN EYE SYMBOLISM

    Please look at the symbol carefully. Maybe draw it as


    well. It is quite simple, isn‘t it? This is the principle of
    a so-called pictogram. Like a traffic sign today, such a
    pictogram can contain a short piece of information or
    a long story.

    What do you already know about this so-called Horus


    Eye? Where did you get this information? Is it the
    knowledge that you have acquired yourself? Do you
    suspect it because of a similar kind of information you
    already know from ancient Egyptian symbols? How do
    you feel when you look at it: is it something positive or
    something negative?

    The questions are aimed at your inner knowledge that you associate with the
    symbol. Far too quickly, we put images into a familiar context and then close the
    „mental drawer.“ Yet, it is essential with symbols with such a complex mythological
    background to remain attentive and open.
