Mythology
If we talk about a detailed study of Egyptian mythology, then the Goddess Isis conceived the God “Horus” from the dead Osiris, who was killed in an unequal struggle with the god of the desert Set. The latter was his brother. After conception, Isis moved to live in the marshy area of the Nile delta, where Horus was born. As he matured, he argued with Seth, and achieved his recognition as the sole heir to Osiris.
However, fighting with Seth, he is defeated and he tears out his eye, presented in the form of a wonderful Eye. Then Horus rallied and stripped Seth of his male prowess. And the torn out eye was swallowed by the father and he was resurrected. After the victory, Horus's eyes grew again, and Osiris handed over power to Horus, and he retired to become the ruler of the world of the dead.
And the eye of Horus, which God Thoth miraculously healed, became a majestic amulet that was worn by the noble and common people of that era. This eye was carved on various gravestones to help the dead in the afterlife. Therefore, amulets with an eye and a royal cobra wrapped around it were installed in the burial places of mummies, and the deceased, who was identified with Osiris, went to the Afterlife. This was done in order to resurrect the incarnation and return the soul to the buried at the time of the performance of the ritual of "opening the mouth and eyes."

For Islamists, this symbol is associated with a spiritual center, the location of true intelligence and prosperity.
If we take into account the Sumerians, then their mythology connects this symbol with the Lord of the Sacred Eye.

Therefore, a medieval legend tells that when Alexander the Great stood at the gates of Paradise, the Eye rolled out to him. After that, the wisest took the scales and placed the jewels on one side and the Eye on the other. And the latter outweighed all expectations. Therefore, the opinion arose that if you put all the wealth of the world on the bowl, then the eye can outweigh it. This is due to the fact that a person is not satisfied with what he has. And when a pinch of dust was thrown onto the bowl, it outweighed the Eye. Therefore, a person can comprehend weight, which has reached his mind.
