Timeless Egypt Sky Map
The perspective of the dome of the sky, in which all visible stars and planets can be seen, is defined as the zodiac when viewed from the Earth into space.
Another widely accepted definition of this concept is that a person looking at the sky from the earth can see what is in the sky. Egyptian temple astrologers were adept at tracking the stars and observing the conjunctions and births of the Sun, Moon (phases), and planets.
It is thought that the ancient Egyptians were the first to develop the calendar based on the solar year.
Life in Egypt revolved around the floods of the Nile, and Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, shone just before sunrise each year when the Nile flooded.
The ancient Egyptians, who carefully studied the star Sirius and the sky, developed the Solar calendar to calculate the floods of the Nile. It is the first calendar known to divide a year into 365 days, so it is known to be the forerunner of the Gregorian calendar used today.
The Egyptian Sky Map (Denderah Zodiac) is an important indicator of the sophistication of the ancient Egyptians' observation of the sky.
The Egyptian Sky Map was inspired by a widely known Egyptian relief found on the ceiling of a chapel dedicated to Osiris in the temple of Hathor at Dendera (also called Denderah), the original of which is now on display in the Louvre Museum.
The currently accepted date for the relief is 50 BC, as it shows the stars and planets in their positions where they could be seen at that time.

The relief, which Rogers describes as the only complete map of an ancient sky we have, is presumed to represent the foundation on which later astronomical systems are based.
All of the relief patterns on the Egyptian Sky Map are decorated by hand using gilding and aging.
