Strange anomaly in ancient Egypt

摘要

A fter fifteen years of studying and translating ancient Egyptian hieratic writing, I have located two reports of a very strange anomaly that manifested in the skies over southern Egypt 3,200 years ago. These reports appeared on slices of limestone, utilizing red and black ink. These limestone writing bases are called ostraca. Approximately 1203 BC, on the 29th of July, at the capital city of Uast (Thebes) an object appeared concurrent with the annual "coming forth of the star Sept (Sirius). The arrival of the star Sept marked the New Year season of Shemut and the inundation of the Nile. Due to the Nile flooding, all work stopped, and a 20-day holiday was observed as the festival of Apt of Amon Ra.
