The work of art that I have selected is the Eye of Horus. The Eye of Horus is an amulet that was discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamen. “It depicts the Eye of Horus flanked by the cobra goddess representing Lower Egypt and the vulture goddess representing Upper Egypt.

From Egypt to Rome to India, these cultures all have stories about their ideal figure, who teach their people as their noble rulers, through their journey on worthy quests, or even just…

I have always had dreams, but after my childhood cancer at age 15, I started seeing different types of dreams. My dreams have more significance.
