Sky as Roof and Ancient Views of the Heavens
The article surveys ancient Egyptian and Babylonia beliefs about the sky as a roof and gods like Ra, notes pyramid tunnels toward the North Star, and explains how Babylonian study of wandering stars shaped ideas such as a seven-day week. It hints at telescope absence and touches on a seeking reader leaflet offer and a Pittsburgh rogues gallery note.
