The eyes of Horus

The last week was notable for two events - one is the pro-democratic struggles in Egypt and another the birthday of a distinguished member on ikOlam. How to connect these two was my problem. In ancient Egypt Horus was the God of sky and his eyes are supposed to be sun and moon. His father was Osiris and his mother was Isis (a goddess of Nature and a frequent entry in crossword puzzles). His uncle Seth killed his father in a treacherous fashion. He avenged this deed by killing Seth with the help of Thoth. There are many variations of this story. The eyes of Horus are said to be a symbol of health and prosperity. Later this became associated with another goddess Wedjat (Wadjet). It is assumed that the apothecory's symbol of Rx originated from the eye of Horus. So here is a neat connection between the doctor and Egypt. The eye of Horus is also important in the measurement. Different parts of this symbol are associated with the fractions 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64. The sum of all these is 1/64 less than unity. I am presenting here the border groups (frieze patterns) with the eye of Horus motif. On the right top the eye itself is shown and in the middle we have the representation of Wadjet and at the bottom we have the fractions associated with various parts. Enjoy!

P.S. The picture was very slightly modified (other eyes may not notice any difference between the previous and the present except mine). It is another matter, I lost the comments of Mrs mahAlakshmI and Mrs rEkhA SeTTi, sorry, please rewrite.
