Astronomy In Ancient Egyptian

The Egyptian Astronomy had a big impact on our history. Egyptians constructed some pyramids and other infrastructures were aligned with the stars, milky ways, planets, and constellations.  However, the Egyptians religious beliefs and heavenly bodies were greatly influenced by the sky. An Egyptian named Seti I, was a Pharaoh of the New Kingdom  Nineteenth dynasty of Egypt left a belonging, a Sundial found in his cenotaph with instructions on how to use it. In our current time, don't commonly use a sundial to tell the time but as time went by, the technology invented watches. However, sundials are still found in parks and it's really interesting to know and learn.
