2、The Eye Of Horus
荷鲁斯之眼
Egyptian Mythology
埃及神话
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.
荷鲁斯之眼可能是埃及神话中最著名的象征之一。根据《埃及亡灵书》中提到荷鲁斯之眼被当做护身符来使用。在某些情况和背景之下，人们常常把它和太阳神之眼混为一谈，但事实上这是不正确的。荷鲁斯之眼被认为是上帝力量的一种象征、埃及王室的权力以及一种他们巩固法规和加强众神真的就在我们身边的这种信仰的方法。
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.
埃及人相信荷鲁斯之眼会指导法老的来生。已逝的统治者们通常与那些以眼镜蛇而闻名的宝石作点缀的眼睛一同下葬，以此来保证他们会正确进入来生的轮回。在活着的时候，法老们把这眼睛当做接受众神信息有力工具来使用。
