NATES AVATAR THE EYE OF THORUS

[FUZO]

TweetThe ubiquitous Eye of Horus symbol of ancient Egyptian religion can be quite readily shown to have been inspired by the "Eye of God" aka "Eye in the Sky" that is manifested in the heavens above our planet Earth during most if not all total eclipses of the sun. Horus, the famous solar falcon god of ancient Egypt, was quite evidently inspired by the "winged disk" or the "Bird of the Sun" that is readily perceivable within the sun's corona during those total eclipses of the sun in which the streamers of the sun's corona are concentrated into the sun's equatorial regions and thus appear very much like a bird's wings spreading out on either side of the so-called "black sun" that is formed by the dark circle of the occulting disk of the moon. The ancient Egyptian myth of the cosmic battle between the solar falcon god Horus and the sun eating serpent god Set was quite evidently inspired by total solar eclipses as the British Museum's reputed Egyptologist EA Wallis Budge noted well over a century ago. In fact, the solar falcon god Horus is very clearly spoken of as assuming the form of a gigantic "winged disk" in some versions of this ancient Egyptian solar eclipse myth.



The Eye of Horus symbol does not usually show the wings of the solar falcon god however the Egyptians also had a closely related winged version of their total solar eclipse inspired udjat eye symbol. I expect that the wingless Eye of Horus symbol is essentially a winged udjat eye symbol from which the wings of the coronal SunBird have been deliberately removed in order to emphasize the religious attribute of this sky god's divine omniscience that is allegorized by the striking similarity in appearance of the totally eclipsed sun to an "Eye of God". The "solar eye" nature of the Horus Eye symbol is clearly revealed by the fact that some versions of this ancient Egyptian religious symbol clearly depict the pupil and iris of the "Eye of Horus" as red sun disk with a central black dot.
This eclipse lore "Web Sight" was originally intended to be just one page about how the Eye of Horus symbol was inspired by the "Eye of God" and "solar falcon" that are manifested during total solar eclipses; however, the difficulty in finding reliable information about the solar falcon god Horus and Eye of Horus symbol of ancient Egyptian religion on the internet has prompted me to try to provide more comprehensive information about the Eye of Horus symbol and the Horus and Set solar eclipse myths. My personally selected links to other high quality web sites provide more general information about the Egyptian solar falcon god Horus and the ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus religious symbol. More links will be added as I become aware of them. I also intend to add more web pages of my own personal research into, and my own pictures of, the Eye of Horus symbol. 'Treasures of Darkness' provides links to more of my inter-related eclipse lore "Web Sights".

The esoteric "Eye of God" aka "Eye of Providence" symbol that is depicted within the pyramidion ( i.e. capstone ) hovering over the uncompleted pyramid on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States of America plays a significant role in the new Jerry Bruckheimer film 'National Treasure' starring Nicolas Cage. This "web sight" should make it abundantly obvious that this esoteric religious symbolism which is incorporated into the Great Seal of the United States of America traces its ancient cultural heritage right back to the udjat eye symbol ( aka 'Horus Eye', 'Eye of Horus' or 'Eye of Ra' ) of ancient Egyptian religious beliefs. This esoteric religious symbolism is, in and of itself,

a "National Treasure" of the U.S.A. that is worth considerably more than the all too materialistic gold "national treasure" that Nicolas Cage discovers in the film.
