Hercules: The Legendary Journeys Season 6 Episode 6

In this episode, Nefertiti's seal is an Eye of Horus (later known as the Eye of Ra). It is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power from deities. Horus was a sky God, son of Osiris and Isis, and fought with Set to avenge his father's death and become ruler of Egypt. During this fight, he lost an eye, but it was later healed by Isis. It was said that his right eye was the sun and his left eye was the moon, thus giving rise to the fact that the symbol of the Eye of Horus has different meanings depending on the direction it faces.

Near the beginning of the episode, Iolaus relates an important Egyptian myth. Set, the God of the desert (often portrayed as evil), was jealous of his brother Osiris, who was a prosperous king. Set made a sarcophagus and had a party where anyone who fit in it could keep it. When Osiris tried, the lid closed and locked, and Set threw it into the Nile, killing him. Osiris became Lord of the Afterlife.

Ramses (sometimes Ramesses) is the English transliteration of the name of eleven Egyptian pharaohs from the 12th century BCE to the 10th. The name translates as "Born of the Sun-God Ra". None of these Ramses were known to be related to Nefertiti (13th century BCE).

Nefertiti was Queen of Egypt during the 13th century BCE, wife of the Pharaoh Akhenaten (a.k.a. Amenhotep IV). She may have ruled alone briefly after her husband's death. Nefertiti and her husband were known for changing Egypt's religion from polytheistic to monotheistic, believing in only one God, Aten. They had six daughters, and were succeeded by their daughter, Ankhesenamen, and Akhenaten's son (not by Nefertiti), Tutankhamen.
