You can tell it's Egyptian just by looking at it.

The Eye Of Horus is a symbol from Ancient Egypt. In Ancient Egypt it served as a symbol for good health, protection, sacrifice and royal power. The symbol is also associated and can be seen with numerous gods, in particular Horus; the Trope Namer, Wadjet^note and Ra. It's also sometimes called the Eye Of Ra^note; even though the Sun Disk was just as likely to be used to represent Ra's 'Eye' in Ancient Egypt, and has been used as a title for various goddesses who worked with Ra in some fashion. Aside from the temples of the after mentioned gods it was also commonly found on the bow of ships and as funerary amulets for mummies in an attempt to protect them. It also may have been the inspiration for the Eye Of Providence and the RX symbol, but there's little evidence to support this.

Nowadays, what it originally stood for is all but completely forgotten and now simply serves as a way to show that something is in some way related to Egypt, its history and mythology; beyond said symbol's existence of course. Naturally if the Eye Of Horus can be easily be a affiliated with any of the above paragraph it is a Subverted Trope, with the only exceptions being with royal power a.k.a. the pharaoh and Ra. The pharaoh is excepted from this because it wasn't a symbol they used every day, you'd probably be lucky to even see it in the form of eyeliner. The god Ra is excepted because his 'eye' can be the Wadjet^note or the Sun Disk, meaning when the Wadjet is used it's likely a Invoked Trope or the creator simply didn't know about theSun Disk.

Compare and contrast with Build Like an Egyptian where it's the architecture that's Egyptian, though the two may overlap.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Millennium Puzzle has the Eye Of Horus on it. It's ultimately a Subverted Trope though since the puzzle contains the soul of Pharaoh Atem, which the Eye is meant to protect. The Millennium Symbol or Eye Of Anubis though are clearly still based off the Eye Of Horus.

Smite: Ra's throne (for everything else see Video Games below).
Zatanna: When the Mummy Hassan speaks his Speech Bubbles are filled with Egyptian Hieroglyphs which include the 'Eye' and even Ra's sun disk, with neither one actually being words in the Egyptian language just religious symbols.
Blue Beetle: Being a superhero based on Egyptian Mythology, The Eye of Horus appears as an evil deity^note that fights this superhero in the Charlton era, but also appears in DC era pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths as described below:
- Charlton Comics: The Eye of Horus is an ancient entity that takes on the appearance of a stylized Egyptian green eye. It comes from Egypt and desires to enslave the entire world. Those it enslaves become hawk-headed creatures who do its bidding. The Eye battled the former wielder of the Blue Beetle Scarab and thus was imprisoned for millennia to come. In the 20th century, Dan Garrett the first Blue Beetle encountered this weapon and defeated it by speaking its true name in vowels - The Eye of Ra.
- DC Comics: The Eye returned when it was excavated from an ancient pyramid by Helen Rock, the reincarnation of Hawkman's eternal enemy Hath-Set, and was used against Infinity, Inc.
Doctor Fate: With it's roots in Egyptian Mythology it naturally appears.
- Sometimes the 'Helmet Of Fate'^note is depicted with them over the helmet's eyeholes◊. This makes sense because it's creator Nabu was Egyptian, and without them you wouldn't know of it's relation to Egypt with it looking more like a Greek helmet◊.
- Can sometimes be seen inside the Tower of Fate.
John Constantine: In the issue 'Voice In The Fire' Anubis appears and has the 'symbol' around his eyes. Dr. Fate also appears and they're on his helmet.
Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder: 'The Heliopic Brotherhood Of Ra' uses this as their symbol.

Night at the Museum: The 'Eye Of Horus' can sometimes be seen on the Tablet Of Ahkmenrah, which likely make it a example of this trope, unless the 'good health' symbolism is being used to mean bring everything to life at night. Though the third film make this even more unlikely with the reveal that the tablet's power comes from the Egyptian deity Khonsu, the moon god.
The Mummy (2017): A very large 'Eye Of Horus' is seen among the hieroglyphics in Princess Ahmanet's tomb.
Stargate: The Eye is seen by Jackson in the town (he calls it the Eye of Ra however), indicating the people are descended from ancient Egypt originally.

The Kane Chronicles: In the series' title the word 'Kane' is heavily stylized to resemble to the Eye Of Horus; true Horus is a major recurringCharacter, but it's still being used to symbolize the stories roots is Egyptian Mythology.

The Ancient Egypt Series: The cover of The Quest has the 'Eye Of Horus' present on it.
The Mummy, Or Ramses The Damned: The page labeled part 1 has the 'Eye' on it. Though it could be there to remind the reader that the Mummies were pharaohs, this is unlikely though since the fact that Ramses and Cleopatra were pharaohs has little to do with the story.
Soul Eater Series: The first book in the series Hidden Blade◊ possess the 'eye' on it's cover, which likely serves as a way to quickly alert the reader to this series' use of Egyptian Mythology.
Fall Of Egypt Series: On some covers of the first book Cleopatra's Shadows◊ the 'eye' present.
An Athenian Mystery: From the series The Singer From Memphis has several Egyptian hieroglyphs on the books cover, including the 'Eye'. Naturally as the book's title implies it takes place in Memphis, Egypt.

Ra The Mighty Cat Detective: The 'R' in 'Ra' is made to look like the eye. Normally this wouldn't be allowed, but seeing as
