It is from the tomb of Tutankhamen that we see the Ureaus in its original, pristine form, with all of its colors and artistic splendor. It was buried and hidden from grave robbers for 3000 years.
Take the Two Eyes of Horus…to your forehead
Had the Rabbis of old known about the Ureus, they might have added a passage such as the following to the Midrashim.
מניין שהיה לפרעה תפילין? שנאמר: ושמת את הנשר ואת הנחש על ראשך, למען ידעו כל מצריים שאתה המושל והשליט : וכל זר לא תלבש בו:
Translation: From where do we know that Pharaoh wore Tefillin? As it says, and you shall put the eagle and the snake on your head, in order that all of The Egyptians will know that your are the ruler and unmistakable head of state.
GP: This fabricated passage emphasizes the total and absolute power of the Pharoah over Egypt. In that sense, the Ureaus could be seen as a comparable to the Swastika of Nazi Germany.
