I took this photos visiting the Egyptian museum of Turin (which is the best after the Cairo one) and I couldn’t help but notice almost the same representation on each coffin.

I discovered these are “sacred eyes”: it was believed that the deads could watch outside the coffins so they could see what happened around!

That's really interesting, I had no idea :) Keep up the good work! That museum looks very nice too, got to put it on my to-visit list! :D

The museum and the city of Turin are both amazing! I fell in love with those places
