Ms. Divine: PERFECT, Jason! Yes, a hawk. Horus was believed to be half man and half hawk. What else do we know about Horus?

Jason He was the sun god, the main one, and all the other gods were just him in different forms

Cloud - looks like it was either from ancient times or from the 70's

Ms. Divine: Autumn, the eye is a sacred symbol. Sometimes that which is sacred appears a bit scary, because of the power it conveys.

I still would like more comments about what you see in the picture and what you know about Horus.

Jason: No wait, Ra was the sun god, damnit...

Cloud - the Eye of Horus is an important Egyptian symbol of power

Ms. Divine:

Jason, you definitely did your homework and it will be reflected in your grade. Horus was the main God. His father was Osirus. At some point, he actually merged with Osirus. All other gods are simply other manifestations of Horus. Therefore, he is extremely important to our culture, which is based upon Egyptian spirituality.

Madison, what do you think of the snake? It's great that you saw that detail.

Cloud, this is an actual recent drawing based upon the ancient one, preserving all old colors and details.

Cloud - also Horus is the god of the sky, and the son of Osiris

Jason: He fought that snake guy... [Runs his hand through his hair] What the hell is his name...

Ms. Divine:

Jason, Ra is a manifestation of Horus. Horus is the God of all the sky and Heavens. Ra is a mask Horus wears as the sun god, as we were discussing earlier.

Jenna, I'm glad you could make it back to class. We're discussing what you saw in the picture of Horus, and what we know about Horus. Do you have anything to share?

Cloud, you are definitely right that the Eye of Horus is a symbol of great power. Who knows what powers it has?
