Ancient Egyptian Astronomy - The...

Omar Khalil

Ancient Egyptian astronomy was deeply intertwined with the culture’s religious beliefs, daily life, and architectural marvels. Long before modern telescopes and advanced instruments, the Egyptians observed the night sky with precision, using it to navigate their world, mark the passing of time, and guide their spiritual practices. Astronomy was not merely a scientific endeavor but a fundamental aspect of their understanding of the cosmos and its connection to the gods.
The Egyptians viewed the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies as manifestations of divine power. Central to their astronomical system was the Sun, which they associated with the god Ra. Ra's journey across the sky each day symbolized the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The Sun’s movement was used to structure the day and marked important moments in the agricultural calendar, such as the flooding of the Nile. The Egyptians also closely tracked the movements of the Moon and stars, which helped them define the months and seasons.
The study of the stars held profound religious significance for the ancient Egyptians. They believed that the stars were the eyes of the gods, observing and guiding humanity. Certain constellations, such as Orion, were particularly important, representing Osiris, the god of the afterlife. The Egyptians’ knowledge of the stars was so advanced that it influenced the alignment of their monumental architecture. The Great Pyramid of Giza, for instance, is aligned with remarkable precision to the stars, showcasing their ability to map the heavens and incorporate that knowledge into their constructions.

Airstream Country - A Geologic...

Neil Mathison

A herd of bison standing in the snow. Layered bluffs of multicolored sandstone. A silver Airstream trailer on a mountain highway. These are familiar sights for Neil Mathison and his wife, Susan. Newly retired, their son in college, they embark upon a great American road trip "uncoupled from the tyranny of calendars or a specific journey." Airstream Country recounts their travels across the western United States as they move from Montana to Malibu and Seattle to Silverton, winding their way through millions of years of geological history with their Airstream in tow. Along the way they encounter upheavals and depositions, ancient seas and young mountains, and stone towers and striated canyons, which are all illuminated by Mathison's knowledgeable commentary. Even after thousands of miles and eons of geology, their adventures are never finished, for, as Mathison writes, "We learn by travel where we ought to travel more."
