Temple of Horus

Statue of Horus in Edfu Temple .
Construction of this huge temple of the god "Horus" began in the era of " Ptolemy III - Aorgitis first" ( in English : Ptolemy the I - III Euergetes ) ( the word "Aorgitis" means "improved") in the year 145 BC, and took the construction of this temple is about 200 Year, as it was completed during the reign of " Ptolemy XIII " in the first century BC.

Horus was mentioned in one of the legends in ancient Egypt and was considered a symbol of goodness and justice. He was Osiris is his father , who was the god of the Baath and the account when the ancient Egyptians. According to the religious legend, his uncle Set the evil one killed his father and distributed its parts throughout the Egyptian country. His mother was Isis , so she collected the parts of his father's body, and this is considered the first process of embalming the dead, and she cohabited with his father's body. After that, Horus was born and wanted to take revenge on his uncle and take revenge for his father, so Horus is sometimes called "his father's protector". In that battle, Horus lost his left eye. He assumed the throne of Egypt.

Osiris became the god of reckoning in the afterlife, and Horus became the king of this life. And every king of Egypt was ruled by his rule as the representative of Horus, and he used the god Horus in his actions and wars. Therefore, we find that all the kings of Egypt named Horus in one of their names (and the king usually had 5 titles).

Among the ancient Egyptian incantations, we find many of them in the image of the Eye of Horus, which is called "Wajat" and is attached to the chest. The Eye of Horus was also taken to represent fractions such as: 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 to 1/64.

His mother, Isis, was the goddess of the moon for the ancient Egyptians.

Horus as the name of the king

The name of King Waji (the serpent) and on it Horus (in the image of a falcon) standing on the flint of the palace. (First Dynasty around 4000 BC).
The work of Horus for all the kings of Egypt was the ideal, as he avenged his father for his murderer and was just. Therefore, they took the name "Horus the Living", which is one of the oldest royal titles in ancient Egypt. His name was mentioned in ancient times in conjunction with Hathor and the first scorpion king. Horus appears in this title standing on the edifice of the palace, surrounding the name of the king.

We also find Horus on the Narmer panel or the famous painting of King Mina, which is from the era of the First Dynasty in Egypt. He grabs the heads of Egypt's defeated enemies and presents them to the king. Until the fourth dynasty, the title of Pharaoh consisted only of the name of Horus, and during that dynasty the name of the golden Horus also appeared, as a second title for the king.

In the account

Parts of the Eye of Horus and the value of each.

Eye of Horus.
The ancient Egyptians used fractions in the arithmetic in the form of 1/s, especially for the division and distribution of yields, such as: 1/2, 1/4 and others, and they used the eye of Horus to represent them.

Each part of the Eye of Horus represented a specific fraction (see the figure), and it represented parts of the standard size. They have what are called "heqat", that is, they represent 1/2 the right or 1/4 the right .... or 1/32 the right and so on. If we add these fractions, we get the sum of 63/64, which means that the sum is 1/64 less than one. When a student asked his teacher in ancient Egypt, where did the missing 1/64 go? The teacher replied that the god Tut - the god of arithmetic - had hidden it. This was the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.
