Celestial motion

The ancient Egyptians not only observed celestial bodies, but also regarded them as sacred ships, carrying the gods and affecting the destiny of the world. Through precise observation and recording of the movements of celestial bodies, they developed a unique view of the universe and integrated it into their religious beliefs and social life. This awe and understanding of the celestial body is not only reflected in the magnificent pyramid architecture, but also profoundly affects the development of later civilizations. Discussing how ancient Egypt understood the movement of celestial bodies will help us gain a deeper understanding of the origin and evolution of human civilization.
