I've been reading up on the ancient Egyptian mythology for a project, and the Eye of Horus is fascinating. However, the way it's incorporated into the narrative of the new game feels a bit vague. I'm trying to understand if the developers are referencing specific historical texts or if it's more of a generalized, dramatic interpretation for the plot. Has anyone played through the lore sections and managed to piece together a cohesive explanation? I'd really appreciate any insights into the intended meaning or the 'spiel' they are trying to convey.

I think they are taking massive liberties. It feels more like 'cool Egyptian vibes' than actual lore study.

I spent hours on the lore codex. It seems they are referencing the concept of 'restoration' and 'protection' more than any specific myth. It's a generalized motif, really.

Short answer: It's dramatic fluff. Don't get too invested in the 'historical accuracy' part.

Wait, did anyone notice the connection to the goddess Wadjet? I read a theory that the developers modeled the Eye's function after her specific protective aspects, not just the general Horus myth. It felt very deliberate.

I agree with the Wadjet theory. The way the game describes the Eye healing damage feels very specific to her role as a protector against evil. It's not just 'magic' in the game's terms.

Has anyone found any in-game documents that cite primary sources? I'm looking for a specific reference, maybe a fictionalized papyrus, that explains the lore's origin.

The developers definitely had a vague goal. I think the Eye represents the balance between physical sight and spiritual knowledge. The 'spiel' is about gaining perspective, not just seeing things.

Totally agree with the perspective idea. The whole quest line about recovering the pieces feels like a metaphor for the player character's own journey of self-discovery, rather than just ancient history.

The lore sections are confusing. It jumps between the myth of Seth and Horus, and then suddenly brings in elements that feel like they belong to completely different periods of Egyptian history. It's a mess.

I think the game is trying to make the Eye of Horus a universal symbol of wholeness, which is why they blended multiple myths together. It's less about accuracy and more about thematic weight.

If it's thematic, then the mechanics should reflect that. The way the Eye powers up when you use multiple types of abilities suggests a system of balance, which is a core concept in Egyptian cosmology. That's the intended meaning.

I found a Reddit thread that suggested the developers consulted an actual Egyptologist. It might explain the mix of high-level mythology and generalized dramatic elements. Worth checking out if you want deeper context.
