Ancient Egypt: The Sirius Connection

This extraordinary book explores the significance of the binary star Sirius the brightest of the stars visible from Earth in the early growth and culture of dynastic Egypt. The author examines the question of whether the importance the ancient Egyptians attached to Sirius concerned simply its seasonal conjunction with the flooding of the Nile or expressed a belief that it played a sophisticated and profound part in spiritual life. Also considered are the origins of the ancient Egyptian pantheon and the means by which arcane knowledge was handed down in Egyptian society.
