Did Egyptians Paint the Milky Way?

Ancient Egyptians may have been the OG stargazers! New research found that starry artwork on coffins and tombs actually links the sky goddess Nut to the Milky Way. Some paintings even show a wavy, dark band across Nut’s body—like the Great Rift in our galaxy. Turns out, Nut wasn’t just about the stars and sun, but the whole cosmic package. Astronomers and Egyptologists are both geeking out over this celestial connection! #AncientEgypt #MilkyWay #HistoryNerd #Archaeology #SpaceArt #Science
