Anyway there are 2 other thingsI don't understand...
1) was the great eye a "normal" eye, or did it see much more...? (for ex. Sam and Frodo hide under a ROCK from the eye... shouldn't it have noticed them?)
2) how couldn't the eye see the rings of the elves??? I mean where the hell did they hide?
And one question:
Do you think the eye of sauron might have some connection with the eye of Osiris (RA, egyptian god)???

Gandalf did have the ring of fire, which Cirdan gave him when Gandalf arrived in Middle Earth. He did not wear it until Sauron was overcome for reasons detailed below.
1) It was the shape Sauron took after he lost the possibility to take human shape (this happened in the destruction of Numenor). It could see through walls, but in the film it could not.
2) He couldn't see the elven rings because he could only see them when they were worn. When the elves learnt he made the master ring they all took off their rings and did not put them on again until he was defeated. Because had they been wearing their rings Sauron would have been able to control them.
