Protective Symbols of the Ancient World

Origin and History of Protective Symbols of the Ancient World

In the fascinating world of mythology , the protective symbols of the ancient world are rooted in the traditions of civilizations as diverse as Egypt, Greece, and Mesopotamia. In ancient Egypt, the symbol of the Eye of Horus (or "Udjat") was believed to bring protection , health, and power to the pharaoh, in a context where the visible world was intertwined with the invisible. [oai_citation:0‡Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Horus?utm_source=chatgpt.com) In Greece, we find the concept of "apotropaia," that is, objects or symbols intended to ward off evil or the evil eye. [oai_citation:1‡Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apotropaic_magic?utm_source=chatgpt.com) In Mesopotamia, monumental protective figures like the Lamassu—mythical hybrids, half-man, half-bull, half-eagle—were placed at palace gates to guard the entrance against invisible forces. [oai_citation:2‡Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamassu?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Far from being mere decorations, these symbols were considered **sacred artifacts**, even mythical objects imbued with protective energy. It is precisely this dimension that the Mythozia brand aims to recapture through its Sacred Objects , Statues , and premium mythological Sculptures .

Symbolism and Evolution Through Time

The protective symbols that flourished in ancient temples have gradually transformed: from signs engraved on walls or worn as amulets, they have become elements of mythological and spiritual/mystical decoration for contemporary homes. The Eye of Horus, for example, an Egyptian symbol of protection and regeneration, is now found printed or sculpted as a decorative object, offering a touch of the "ancient" combined with a quest for balance or harmony. [oai_citation:3‡Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_of_Horus?utm_source=chatgpt.com) The Hamsa hand—also called the Hand of Fatima—continues its popularity, both as an amulet and as a decorative motif in modern interiors, against the evil eye and to attract good intentions.
