Ancient egypt Quote by Ibrahim Ibrahim
““Mars nudges the Earthlings -each two years period- into the precession of the equinoxes; a behavior which ancient Egyptians tried to tame using the theological Osirian Stride (which were also carved on Dendera's circular Zodiac to testify and articulate that intention) - based on the ten days difference between the lunar and solar calendars. This proves that the Egyptian epagomenal days (halved by the Nile flood into two 5-days periods) were established to rectify the theological implication of accounting to all asterisms which were present in the sky. By bridging the solar and lunar calendars for the sole purpose of delivering a legitimizing narrative, ancient Egypt sought the justification of its own existence.””
