 Research online the significance of the Eye of Horus and unit fractions in ancient Egypt. What was most interesting to you in your findings? The Egyptian Unit fractions are based on the Eye of Horus. Horus was the ancient Egyptian sky god who was usually depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner or peregrine falcon.[7] His right eye was associated with the sun god, Ra. It was believed by the Greeks and Romans that an evil heart could get to the eye.

Why is 60 significant in so many situations involving time and/or space?   In China, one day is separated into 12 sections. One year is separated into 12 months. 60 is a multiple of 12. In western cultures, one day is separated into...
