1. According to Egyptian mythology, Horus' eye was taken by his uncle Set during a battle between the two. Set tore out Horus' left eye and damaged it, but it was later restored by the god Thoth.

2. The lotus flower was a symbol of creation and rebirth in ancient Egyptian mythology. In the "Book of the Dead", the lotus was often used as a metaphor for the deceased's journey through the afterlife. It was believed that the deceased would emerge from the underworld like a lotus flower rising from the water.

3. In the "Book of the Dead", the judgment of the deceased was believed to be based on their actions in life. However, the role of family members and loved ones was also considered important. For example, in Spell 125, the deceased asks for their mother to be present during the judgment to speak on their behalf.

Here are a few more quotes from the "Book of the Dead":

1. "I am the great god who created himself, who made the earth and the sky, who created the waters and the mountains, who made the sky and the stars, who created all that is and all that shall be."

2. "I am the soul of Osiris, the firstborn son of Geb, who was born of Nut, who was the daughter of Shu, who was the son of Atum, who was the creator of the world."

3. "I am the one who comes forth from the darkness, whose eyes are like the sun, whose voice is like thunder, whose power is like the wind, and whose breath is like fire."
