Introduction

The Eyes of Horus was one of the most important hieroglyphs in ancient Egypt. About the moon and how she is portrayed, for example, the Udju green paint. The most popular modern eye makeup methods were inspired by ancient Egyptian practises. The shape of the wedjat eye originated in the late Old Kingdom and was produced up to the Roman era. Ancient Egyptians routinely wore amulets, and one of the most prevalent patterns was the Eye of Horus. 

Ancient Egyptian Makeup

Black khol and green eye paint, often known as udju, were the two main forms of eye makeup.

Galena, a dark grey ore, and crushed charcoal were the products utilised. Research has found that mesdemet or khol, which was often used to coat the eyes, provides significant health benefits, including defence against disease, protection from insects, and protection from sunshine.

Cats Eye Makeup

The cat-eye originates in Ancient Egypt, where Cleopatra used thick, wrap-around eyeliner. Malachite and copper ore were used by women to create thick, green and black flicks that dramatically framed the eyes. Egyptians didn't simply employ cosmetics to enhance their appearances; they also utilised them for symbolic, practical, and religious purposes. In ancient Egypt, wearing eyeliner functioned as both a statement of style and a defence against the Evil Eye.

Research

For our study project, we decided on Egyptian Culture Subtitle: The Pyramid of Egypt. They were scheduled to arrive in week four. The lecturer also assured us that the topic was not focused on culture. Thus, instead of Egyptian hieroglyphs, we started working on a new research project based on the hieroglyphs in the EYES OF HORUS. The Pyramids are majestic structures with a square or triangular base and sloping sides that end in a point at the summit, constructed of limestone as a royal tomb in ancient Egypt. a place where Djoser, King Khufu, and other people were buried. Royal burials were carved out of the rock and covered with "mastabas," rectangular structures with flat roofs that existed before the pyramids. built during Egypt's time as one of the most affluent and powerful civilizations in history. Together with the other pyramids, the gigantic pyramids of Giza are among the most beautiful structures ever created by humans.

Another study idea that we developed was called "Egyptian Hieroglyphs in the Eyes of Horus, It all begins with the story of Osiris. This is the most well-known Egyptian tale. It portrays the continual struggle between right and wrong as well as right, wrong, and punishment. The oldest child of the earth god Get and the sky goddess, Osiris is also known as the God of the Underworld but is more properly referred to as the God of Transition, Resurrection, and Regeneration. The offspring of Osiris' three siblings were Isis, Set, and Nephthys. Osiris married his sister Isis, as was customary at the period, and gave birth to Horus in ancient Egypt. According to customs in ancient Egypt, the story started when Set killed Osiris in order to claim the throne, producing anarchy and confusion. The corpse of Osiris was subsequently divided into 14 pieces, which were dispersed throughout ancient Egypt. After slaying Osiris, Set continued his violent behaviour. It was necessary to properly embalm and bury the deceased's body in the royal. The metaphorical representations of the Eye of Horus have included "Eye of the Mind," "Eye of the Third Eye," "Eye of the Truth or Insight," and "the Eye of God Inside the Human Mind" over the years. Since they believed it possessed supernatural powers, the ancient Egyptians gave the Eye of Horus all of these names.
