"Eye of Horus," by Byzant.com

The ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus or wedjat ('Whole One') is a powerful symbol of protection, and is also considered to confer wisdom, health and prosperity. Horus was one of the most important Egyptian gods, a sun-god represented as a falcon or with the head of a hawk, whose right eye was the sun and whose left eye was the moon. He was the son of Osiris (god of the underworld) and Isis (mother goddess). Osiris was slain by his own brother, the evil Set (jackal-headed god of night), and Horus fought Set to avenge his father's death, winning the battle but losing an eye in the process. The eye was restored by the magic of the god of wisdom and the moon, Thoth, and this allowed Horus to grant Osiris rebirth in the underworld. The Eye of Horus symbol was used in funerary rites and decoration, as instructed in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. After 1200 BC, it was also used by the Egyptians to represent fractions, based on repeated division by two. Both the right and the left eyes of Horus were depicted by the ancient Egyptians. The wounding of the left eye served as a mythical explanation of the phases of the moon, and its magical restoration meant that the left was usually the one used as an amulet and considered to be the 'Eye of Horus'. The right eye is sometimes referred to as the 'Eye of Ra', the sun god, though often little distinction is made between the two eyes.

Jerald and Sandra Tanner, "Solving the Mystery of the Joseph Smith Papyri" wrote

"This is the well-known scene from the Osiris mysteries, with Anubis, the jackal-headed god, on the left ministering to the dead Osiris on the bier. The pencilled (?) restoration is incorrect. Anubis should be jackal-headed. The left arm of Osiris is in reality lying at his side under him. The apparent upper hand is part of the wing of a second bird which is hovering over the erect phallus of Osiris (now broken away). The second bird is Isis and she is magically impregnated by the dead Osiris and then later gives birth to Horus ..." (Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, Summer 1968, page 86)

The Sirius Mystery. Temple documents the Dogon people of Africa and their precise astronomical data which predate telescopes. Their legends say that this knowledge was given to them by three-eyed crab-clawed beings from Sirius. Temple goes on to trace the Dogon's ancestors back to migrating Egyptians who continue a tradition well-documented in the Mysteries of Isis and Osiris.

Exploring East Asia through Storytelling:

This series, sponsored by IU's East Asian Studies Center, feature popular folktales from China, Japan, or Korea told by a professional storyteller. The presentations also involved an IU student from the relevant country, who discussed modern-day issues addressed by the folktale.

This spring, three interactive presentations focused on the much-loved Japanese folktale, "The Crane Wife". Professional storyteller Mary Fraser performed the story of the marriage of a simple farmer and his crane-wife who could weave enchanted cloth. Following the story, Mary fielded student questions about the characters and meaning of the tale. The second part of the program, was presented by IU student Yasuko Murphy of Japan. She introduced the students to Japanese 'dancing' red-crowned, the importance of the crane in Japanese culture and art, and recent efforts to protect this now-endangered species.

The program was presented to Lebanon Middle School's 7th grade East Asian study group, and to two 3rd grade classes - the students of Longfellow Elementary School teacher JoAnn Beleslin and on the students of Grissom Elementary School teacher Lois Johnson. Both of the elementary schools are located in Gary, Indiana, and IU's ability to reach these two faraway sites via the Vision Athena network once again demonstrated the values of this distance learning technology as an outreach tool. In all presentations, the 3rd and 7th graders asked many questions and seemed quite at ease interacting with guest speakers who were, in fact, quite far away.
