Egyptian goddess Hathor’s Cow Horns relation to the Sun and Venus sky movements.
In the back of the principal structure at the Dendera temple complex in Qena Egypt there is found the goddess Hathor Horns crown although the face is now destroyed but the crown still on place with all its information in relatively good conditions.
Plotting the sun position (actually Earth position as we go around the Sun and is not the Sun that goes around us) in relation to the Ecliptic what we see as the sun sinuous movement that the Sun makes during the year can be projected in a series o duplicated horns, as the points of the horns are made rectilinear they make an imaginary trapezoid figure to distinguish from the lower part and denote that the upper part is the winter trajectory correspondent our night and the lower part is round to show that it is summer and corresponds to our daylight of the day as the Sun disk is present.
As the top of the head of the column rests a trapezoidal temple (the sky) that resembles a mastaba, shrine or Sarcophagus and the sum rays at right are also trapezoids they must be representing the East at night in the moment of the firth ray of light at the moment that ancient Egyptians thought it was the time of the Sun’s rebirth of everyday.
Goddess Hathor as she was a sky goddess related to the Sun birth and as well associated to the planet Venus its certainly that her ancient followers must have had credited to Her important relationship to astronomy in special to the Sun and the planet Venus orbits as perceived around us, in other word their sky mechanics based in on daily observations and taking Earth as the center of the universe.
Since there are seventeen snakes and her face crowned by cow horns with the sun in the meddle demarking an especial event, they add up to eighteen positions whish relate to the18 month that takes Venus to complete its whole orbit around the sun and by so it can e observed nine months in the East and nine months in the west skies, for the reason that Venus is between the Sun and our planet.
Venus does not pass through the whole sky over us, rather its yearly trajectory look like two slender arks where the sun raises and sets and being the closes planet and as its nine month had a coincidence with the women gestation period it was thought that this arks and Venus where the entrance of life in the East as the sun raised in this ark and the departure of our spirit from the light sky (life) to the night sky (afterlife) by the ark entrance at sunset like the Sun does before the nigh comes.
