Eye of Horus

[Shatav]

I've heard that there is a link between the eye of horus and numeric fractions. Is this true, or does anybody know anything about it?

YES! Lets hear it...if this is true...I am definitely into it. Maybe somewhere in this Community we can find a place to discuss number systems. ;)

That formula does not add up to what they say it does.

No, it adds up to 63/64, which was just rounded up. Here's a site that explains the fraction part a tiny bit more:

There's a really good site somewhere that I can't seem to find again...

I read somewhere that the eye in the pyramid on the back of the one dollar bill is symbolic of the Eye of Horus. I can't remember where I read this. Just wondering if it's true or not.

All the best,
