Relation to the stars

In this diagram we can see how the Egyptian people understood the shape and function of the cosmos. In the Egyptian cosmology the sky goddess Nut is stretched over the earth god Geb, who is laying down on a flat plain; his body is positioned so as to mimic the hills and mountains.The sky is dome shaped and full of stars (not unlike the “firmament” we read about in the Bible). Nut is said to swallow Ra the sun god every evening which ushers in the night and give birth to Ra in the morning which ushers in the day.Cited: http://planet.infowars.com/uncategorized/sorting-through-age-old-misconceptions-about-the-bible-scripture-presents-a-flat-earth-cosmology-which-is-still-pretty-cool
