American scientists from the University of Portusmut discovered a possible image of the Milky Way in ancient Egyptian wall paintings, associated it to the sky of the sky chickpeas. The study was published scientifically broadcasting Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage (Jahh).
Hazelnut, the goddess of the sky, was often described as a woman who protects the world to give birth again in dawn and is a curved woman full of stars “sucking” on a daily basis.
However, in one of the sarcophagi (about 3000 years ago), the astrophysicist Ora Graur noticed an unusual detail: a wave -like black line divided the stars into two parts along the body of the goddess.
Comparing this pattern with the Milky Way photographs, the scientist concluded that former artists could take a great break – a dark cosmic dust strip that divides our galaxy into two bright branches.
The researchers returned to the old texts, in the winter galaxy could symbolize the hands of the goddess and show the backbone in the summer. However, the wall paintings changed this theory.
“Hazelnut is not the personality of the Milky Way. On the contrary, it was one of the elements that adorned the galaxy body as the concrete of the sky,” he explained.
The discovery not only deepens the ancient Egyptian astronomy understanding, but also shows how science and mythology were intertwined thousands of years ago.
