12 Twigs Precedent: Eye of Ra/Horus


The eye of Ra/ Horus can be connected to my project in that it is an eye and in that it was used by ancient Egyptians in calculating fractions. Each part of the eye represents a different fraction and was used in calculating sums of grain, land etc. In that way the eye is a system just like our twig project. It's multiple parts are like the multiple twigs (12) we are to use.
