2.2. Ancient Egypt

7,000 years ago, one of the most influential civilizations that have influenced

a multitude of fields such as medicine, agriculture, engineering, architecture, and

most importantly astronomy, was created. Their fascination with the creation of the

universe led them to miracles humanity cannot yet comprehend (Elhalfawy, 2016). A

scribe by the name of Amenope was tasked with assembling a catalog of the universe, in

the year 1100 BC. His list had to include “heaven with its affairs, earth and what is in it,

what the mountains belch forth, what is watered by the flood, all things upon which Re’

has shone, all that is grown on the back of earth.”
