This is all shown by the physical evidence uncovered along the Nile Valley and nearby oases. These excavations were carried out by committed Egyptologists. Many of the findings revealed by these meticulous researchers can be categorized by their differing functions. Papyri consists of astrological/religious writings. There were coffin with texts of the Middle Kingdom and the various religious books of the New Kingdom Some individual dates found in other documents might be relevant to this coffins text.
Astronomical ceilings of the New Kingdom were considered the least sophisticated celestial diagrams. They include lists of different constellations, decans and other planets, calendars, and stellar clocks.

It later evolved into a 197-foot-high pyramid, that contains six layers built on top of one another. This pyramid was constructed using 11.6 million cubic feet stone and clay, not to mention it was the smallest of the three. The tunnels beneath the pyramid were approximately 3.5 miles long. The peasants who worked on this pyramids where feed like things. If they happened to die their bodies would be buried inside the pyramid with the cement and clay. This was considered and honorable death with few having the physical attributes to complete such a task. There was a theory published by British scholar K. Spence stating that “Ancient Egyptians aligned the pyramids by using the simultaneous transit of two circumpolar stars (Delta Ursae Minoris) in order to establish true North.”( Venner The Pyramids page …show more content…
The moment of the sunrise was pointed exactly to the East. The relationship in calculated the exact measurements lies in the seked. This nothing more than a measurement of angles like a compass trying to make a perfect circle. It was noted by Greek Historian Herodotus that over 100,000 men worked on the Great Pyramid of giza for over twenty years at the rate of three months of at a time. The Great pyramid of Giza was aligned with the star Alnitak. This stars including Alinam are all aligned with Orion’s belt. Egyptian God Orion is believed to dominate the Northern sky in the Western Hemisphere. Due to large amount of starts in the shape of a belt Orion was given this name because he was known one of Egypt's essential gods on top of Horus, Ra, and Isis. First, a brief word about the constellation itself. In many mythologies,it is said that Orion ended up in the night sky because he took great pride in the animals he killed. So the Egyptians put him there to teach humility, since he and his dogs chase after animals in the sky but are never able to catch them. Egyptian civilization was greatly influenced by astronomy. Ancient Egyptian astronomy was considered the most sacred of things. Ancient Egyptian astronomy was the core of their religion . The Egyptians had no true knowledge of the universe so they created myths to better understand.For them each star was type of God, Goddess or part of
