Depictions of the Milky Way found in ancient Egyptian imagery

Milky Way, played in Egyptian culture and religion, has taken interest in understanding the role that he has given the University of Partsmouth Associate Professor of Astrophysics, Dr. Or to tell Gauur what he thinks he can have an ancient Egyptian depiction of Milky Way.

Various Egyptian gods are either associated with some astronomical objects, symbols, or straight. In his study, Dr. Gauur reviewed 125 images of Akash-Devi Walnuts (pronunciation “not”), 555 was found between ancient Egyptian coffins, which had been dating for about 5,000 years.

By combining astronomy with Egypt, he analyzed whether he could be associated with Milky Way and him conclusion Now published in Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage,

In scenes depicting the sky of day and night, walnuts are shown as a naked, arched woman, sometimes covered from stars or with solar discs. The arched posture of walnuts is seen as its identity with the sky and the protection of the earth below.
