The Skies of Ancient Egypt

Join the Huntington Woods Library at the Huntington Woods Recreation Center on Thursday, July 11 for a special program: The Skies of Ancient Egypt. We're bringing in a portable planetarium to learn about the night sky!

Two shows: 6:30 PM (ages 5-8), 7:30 PM (ages 9-12) Please register on the library website: http://www.huntington-woods.lib.mi.us/index.html

4500 years ago, the night sky had all the same stars as we see today, but was viewed by the ancients very differently. Why? Because their basic beliefs were very different! Travel back to ancient Egypt with us and observe what those people in a far-away and mysterious land saw in the heavens. Learn how the ancient pharaohs (who ruled as 'gods') held the people's destiny in their hands and why the sky held so much power for them as well as their future!
