In the vast tapestry of the night sky, the Milky Way stands as a celestial marvel, captivating the imaginations of cultures across the globe for millennia. From ancient times to the present day, interpretations of this luminous band have varied widely, ranging from a celestial river ferrying departed souls to the realm of the afterlife, to the ethereal birthplace of divine beings.

Yet, despite the wealth of historical records and decades of scholarly inquiry, the perspective of the ancient Egyptians on the Milky Way has remained elusive, shrouded in mystery and conjecture.

Through meticulous analysis of mythological texts and astronomical observations, Dr. Graur has illuminated a previously unseen connection that sheds new light on the cosmological beliefs of ancient Egypt.

To delve deeper into this fascinating discovery and uncover the hidden wisdom of the ancient Egyptians, we invite you to watch the video below.
