The Evil Eye in Egypt

During ancient times, sailors used to paint the evil eye on their ships, hoping that it would keep them protected during their journey.
In Egyptian mythology, the evil eye is associated with the god Horus, who is known to be the god of the sky. In their religion, they believe when the father and the king of gods, Osiris, died, Horus and Set, which is the god of the desert, fought with one another to take the throne. During the fight, Set took out Horus’s left eye, and he then gave his eye to his father Osiris, hoping that it would bring him back to life. Since Horus sacrificed his eye for his father, the eye was symbolized in healing and protecting Egyptians.
