Astronomy in Egypt has a long history. The bone of some eighty five hundred years was excavated from
Ishango near Lake Edward Uganda that is located far south of Egypt up to near the origin of the Nile river.
According to the report from a researcher, the marks of bone would be the observation report of changing
phases of the Moon recorded.
Although the excavated site is located far south of Africa, it is reasonable to guess that the arts of observation of astronomical bodies were transferred through the
stream of the Nile river and arrived at Egypt after long years. We believe that the calendar system of
using Moon phases was originated in Mesopotamia while the system using Sun travel was originated in
Egypt in BC 2781 released.
Although so many articles were found in the history of astrology with regard to the names of Egyptian,
however, the nowadays evaluation on the contribution of Egyptian in astrology is somehow doubtful.
There are many reasons of slow reputation of Egyptians in astrological studies. One of them will be
found in the historical position of Egyptian that could survived long after the destruction of cultures of
either the original Greek or the ancient countries of MESOPOTAMIA
flourished. This lucky position of
Egyptian could utilize the lost civilization for the benefit of Egypt willfully by forging the true history
of astrology lurked.
Another major reason will be the much exaggerative description in the Rosetta
Stone excavated by Napoleon troops in Rosetta Egypt in 1799. Fanatic boastful talks on the contribution
of Egyptian in the history that was described in the Stone was enough to pull down the reputation of
report made by Egyptians on the bona fide study of historical fact in general. We can assume the activities of ancient Egyptian people in the considerable old ages, however, we cannot
accept the boastful story of some Egyptians that had advocated the origin of all human civilization should
be deduced to Egypt. The cylindrical seal stumps of authentic Sumerians in some six thousand years ago
that had sent for their evidence of the commercial contract was excavated from Egypt that we can find the
most clear evidence of Sumerian culture. On the other hand, the evidence of Egyptian culture that is
represented by the adoration of the Sun with the RESURRECTION from the death was only found in Mesopotamia
in the site of 2000 BC or some four thousand years ago excavated.Religion of the resurrection from death has been prevailing whole Egypt since 5000 BC that was some
seventy hundred years ago. According to the reports from archaeologists excavated the sites in Mesopotamia,
the ancient Sumerian in the same era had seldom mourned the deaths that have refused by themselves the
help from the guardian god ENLIL
that was the god of air. For the rich peaceful commercial tribe of Sumerian,
the death has come only after ceasing the respiration of air. Astrology was developed by the worldly mundane
life of Sumerian studied.
On the other hand, the people who believed the resurrection from death in Egypt
had seldom studied the astrology but they had concentrated their effort in astronomy to the preparation
of world oldest solar calendar technology developed.

ナイル川を下って、長い間にエジプトにこの文化が伝えられたと考えられます。歴史的に認められた説によれば、
月の満ち欠けを基準にした太陰暦を世界で始めて使用したのはメソポタミアで、太陽を基準にした太陽暦を世界
で始めて使用したのは紀元前2781年（約四千年まえ）のエジプトであるといいます。
