MessageToEagle.com - In 1943, an ancient papyrus
was bought by the Cairo museum.
It was
written in Hieratic and although portions of it were eaten away by ants, it was
a very precious ancient document.
The papyrus
contained three separate books dealing with astronomy. One of the books was the
Cairo Calendar, and now it reveals an ancient astronomical secret.
Algol, also
known as the Demon Star, is a binary star in the Perseus constellation. For
hundreds of years the star has been an object of speculation.
Papyrus
Museum, Cairo, Egypt. The oldest Egyptian calendar
Ancient
Egyptians knew about Algol, the Demon Star 3200 years ago.
A research team from Finland is now suggesting that ancient Egyptians were
familiar with the Demon Star and its odd behavior already 3200 years ago!
The period
of the binary star Algol, was 2.850 days three millennia ago.
