In ancient mythology, the eye is a symbol of the gods, as a being that sees and knows everything. The first worship statues in Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BC typically show deities with large staring eyes and are considered a powerful protective spell. The eye is a symbol of all knowledge, a symbol of the enlightened God and a symbol of the power of intuition. There was also another belief according to which the eye is a symbol of the sun god and the sun is the fertility and life-giving force of the world. 1732×1732
