THE STAR MAP OF SENMUT

Raahubaat,

The following images depict paintings from the tomb of Senmut (a famous architect and astronomer who was a close confidant of A'aferti, Pharaoh Hatshepsut). These drawings may be an astrological map of an seasonal elliptical orbit around the sun. I have studied these maps in detail, and here's my take on them.

Picture #1






If you observe the map carefully, you'll see several lines flowing through it, as if it depicts an orbit around a particular egg-shaped form. Also, the three stars from Orion's belt are drawn next to and inside this egg-shaped form. These lines connect stars on the map, possibly denoting points in the solar system.

Picture #2






This is the bottom half of the 1st drawing. The circles with spokes represent an elliptical orbit. Could the red spheres above the heads of the Deities represent the more important aspects of the orbit in our solar system. Also, note that the red spheres differ in size. Could which would make it appear to vary in size when viewed from Gi (Earth)?
