Background information

Ancient Egypt knows many symbols and imagery. Many know the ancient Pyramids which the ancient Egyptians built to honour their dead Pharaohs. Beyond this there are other symbols as well, like the eye of Horus and the Ankh symbol.

The eye of Horus represents health and protection. It represents the ancient Egyptian sky deity, Horus. Many ancient Egyptian documentations indicate that Horus’s right eye represented the sun and his left the moon. Then the Ankh symbol, also referred to as the key to life was often used in ancient Egyptian writing as a symbol for life.
