In Egypt, the mirror has strong symbolism with the sun disk. The offering of two mirrors in Egyptian temples stresses that the two disks represent the sun, the moon, and their inherent power. Horus, represented by the falcon, was considered the preeminent divine being. The hieroglyph which represented the idea of God was a falcon on its perch.
