Egyptian Astronomy - Albert Slosman

At the beginning of time, when man was intelligent enough to observe the movements of the points of light in the sky, he paid close attention to what was happening up there. Reflection came to him and he meditated on various accurate influences, such as the Sun during the day, and the Moon at night, which regularly changed shape. He soon became convinced that the other points of light, although infinitely smaller, were similar cases. This took thousands of years, of course, which we must admit from the outset in order to better understand the mechanism.

However, for the high priests of this country who lived in the fifth millennium BC, this study of the sky and its configurations was that of divine-mathematical-combinations. This enlightened designation served its purpose well, and at that time there was neither astronomy nor astrology, but a mathematical calculation of celestial configurations. The Fixed was the Sun, the Wandering were the Planets. Later on we will look at its Egyptian name. This calculation made it possible to eliminate all evil waves from the environment of the people, their country, their king and their counsellors in order to remain in harmony with the heavens. What is below should be like what is above in order to harmonise the Creator with his creatures and his creation.
