This is probably how the ancient Egyptians came up with Ra sailing a boat through the sky

Could it please be? If the evangelical death cultists all disappeared, maybe we could turn this thing around.

I’d love to see a list of natural phenomenons that led to ancient tales

Auora borealis is nothing short of the gods fighting or something like that. Had I witnessed that before we understood what it was, I would have definitely believed in Odin, Thor, and Valhalla.

There’s a bush in the desert that secretes a film that can burn off in high temps - The Burning Bush

Theres an entire mountain range under the Red Sea that would’ve been visible at certain times in the ancient biblical times - The Parting of the Red Sea

Thats all I recall from an 80s documentary on bible stories explained by science

The ancient flood that caused lake bonneville resulted in the story of Noah’s Ark

There are some debates that this was because of an meteor impact in the ocean that caused swift flooding in many parts in the world. Truly a godlike power, just in the form of a giant falling space rock. Atleast gods have flair and (sometimes terrible) personalities.

Speaking of meteors, I read that the story of Sodom being smited in the Bible may have been inspired by a city being struck by a meteor.

Combined with the river of the Milky Way at night. Imagine what it would have looked like without all that light pollution.

u/Mushbox 12h ago

Where exactly do you see a sunrise at night?

u/GlitteryOndo 10h ago

In the Arctic Circle or Antarctica, probably. Ancient Egyptians come from the North Pole confirmed??

Sun sets. Sinks below the horizon. It gets dark. Milky Way appears brightly (back then) in the sky, from horizon to horizon, seemingly like a river.

It gets bright again, daylight. The sun comes back up from below the horizon, seemingly close to where you could see the Milky Way during the night.

"Ah, this is where Ra's boat travels, only during the day it's too bright for us to see."

(Egypt, ca 7000 BC, colourised)

Yeah I love the enthusiasm, but the reason we don't see the milky way with the sun is because of the sun, nothing to do with light pollution 😂
