    DescriptionA new discovery reveals Ancient Egypt’s lost cosmic knowledge. Were the ancient Egyptians mapping the stars 3,000 years ago? In this episode, John Michael Godier speaks with astrophysicist Dr. Or Graur about a groundbreaking new study that suggests depictions of the Milky Way may be hidden in Egyptian imagery.

    Dr. Graur shares his journey from mythological research to a surprising astronomical analysis using planetarium simulations, and how he uncovered evidence of what may be one of the earliest visual references to our galaxy in ancient Egyptian imagery. These findings could reshape how we think about the intersection of ancient cosmology, mythology, and astronomy.
