The Celestial Science of the Ancient Egyptians

[James]

Hello all,

The Pyramid Texts (those 4000 lines of hieroglyphic texts found in the pyramids of Saqqara) are said to be of Pagan origin and funerary in content .. they are neither!

Rather (though it's hidden in the unique metaphoric style of the Ancients) it is more accurate to say that they are a record of religious belief and scientific achievement.

The Celestial Science of the Ancient Egyptians is the story (from the Pyramid Texts) of Orion, Gemini, Sirius (a.k.a., Sothis), the Milky Way, and the Ecliptic (all shown here) in the western night sky.

Hello jimbow,

Nice to touch Egypt with you again. Last time it was "In the Hall of Ma'at", where we exchanged a few comment on the Bent Pyramid of Snefru, agreeing that it was built bent intentionally, but never got to argue why. I remember disagreeing with your opinion because I spun mine together from entirely different notion, based on "senef" meaning blood, and he being called "The Bringer of Beauty." But then all these things are multi-level, so each one's view has merit.

I practically know nothing about your POV, but very much like the "fact" that "there is no star-god who has no companion", as every particle has a partner particle, even as we have a companion, above and below.

Hopefully, some day we can exchange ideas, at the moment I'm into Shakespeare/Frnacis Bacon, and related things, unwilling to be side-tracked, as I dislike talking about a hundred things without getting as close as I can to the bottom of one.

Welcome to this friendly place

Hi Charlotte amd all,

When you're ready - perhaps maybe, we can talk about the following which was inspired by § 1565 in the Pyramid Texts - I summon a thousand, and the sun-folk come to me bowing. It's my own private coup d'tat:

.

Now the Earth from the Sun
Is a distance Far
93 million miles
I measure so far.

But across the Orbital Circle
Ever so Chill
186,000,000 miles
It is further still.

But written on Stone so well Embossed
The Heavenly message almost lost.
"I call the Thousands,
And the Sun-Folk Cross!"

So by the Thousands Ever so Bright
To Penetrate the Darkness of the Night
Came 186,000
At the Speed of Light.
