Written by two recognized specialists?one an astronomer trained in Egyptology, and the other an Egyptologist trained in astronomy?it synthesizes and analyses the international body of research surrounding this ancient culture. The chapters in this work address all major topics in the field, including Egyptian cosmogony and worldview, timekeeping devices and calendars, land- and skyscapes, astronomy-influenced architecture, chronology and more. Each chapter includes an introduction, an overview of the existing documentation on the subject, a critical discussion of ongoing debates and questions, and a presentation of state-of-the-art research. Straddling the line between Egyptology and astronomy, this multidisciplinary book will appeal to any scholar or specialist interested in studying ancient Egyptian astronomy. 410 0$aHistorical & Cultural Astronomy,$x2509-3118 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aCosmology 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aCosmology. 676 $a520.932 676 $a520.932 700 $aBelmonte Mari?n$b Juan Antonio$01379553 702 $aLull$b Jose? 702 $aMahoney$b Terry$c(Astronomer) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910686789003321 996 $aAstronomy of Ancient Egypt$93419461 997 $aUNINA
