It's also sometimes called the ''Eye Of Ra''[[note]]Technically only the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Ra#Aggressive_and_protective left eye represents Ra while the right represents Horus]], but due to their vast amount of similarities they are often [[SadlyMythtaken mistaken for eachother]].[[/note]]; even though the ''Sun Disk'' was just as likely to be used to represent Ra's "Eye" in AncientEgypt, and has been used as a title for [[DependingOnTheWriter various goddesses]] who worked with Ra in some fashion. Aside from the [[TheChurch temples]] of the before mentioned gods it was also commonly found on the bow of ships and as funerary amulets for [[{{Mummy}} mummies]] in an attempt to protect them.
