1. The Eye of Horus: A Symbol of Cosmic Order and Temporal Authority
a. In ancient Egyptian cosmology, Horus was not merely a god of kingship but a celestial guardian of time itself. As the son of Osiris and Isis, he embodied divine kingship and the eternal cycles of celestial motion. His Eye—often depicted as a falcon’s eye—symbolized the **measured passage of time**, linking the gods’ omniscient gaze to the earthly rhythm of days, seasons, and years. This fusion of divine perception and temporal order made Horus the archetypal timekeeper, ensuring harmony between the heavens and human life.
