Eye of Horus- For Good Fun.





Although this is not part of 20 Days of Makeup, I was still incredibly inspired to re-create Lady Gaga's Eye of Horus look. If you haven't caught the Tumblr post, seek the right column of the blog for the link.  When researching the Eye, I found very interesting information on the meanings behind each line. 

[ THE EYE OF HORUS ]
The entire eye measured 1 heqat. And each of the parts of the eye measured fractions of the heqat.

 
These are the parts of the EYE and their corresponding associated fraction values :
1/641/321/16
1/81/41/2
The corresponding sense data are :
1/64 heqat Touch
1/32 heqat Taste
1/16 heqat Hearing
1/8 heqat Thought
1/4 heqat Sight
1/2 heqat Smell

This information only scratches the surface of the information behind the design. I found this data on www.aloha.net/~hawmtn/horus.htm.


Killer, eh?
