Why?



Why?

In Ancient Egypt, one had to perform rituals correctly, and if those rituals were not followed exactly, the Sun would not rise the next morning.  The people were told this by the Priests.  The religion was based partly on Science, and the view was Geocentric: the Sun revolved around the Earth, having been “born” in the morning (Via Caesarean Section by the Creator, Ptah), lived through the day and died in the evening, then battled its way through the Underworld until rebirth the next morning.  The life cycle of a person was based on the solar example above.  

Of course, Modern Science ruined the religion of Ancient Egypt with Heliocentric knowledge. The Magic system of Ancient Egypt still works, if you don’t believe in the religious affiliation or stories relating to the decadent Science of the times.  Technological ideas are preserved in their artifacts, of course, and can be sources of inspiration today.
