Here are just a few examples. One of the very earliest pyramid texts expresses the idea of the endlessness of space. In the noted Leyden Papyrus we find the words: "Look: the Earth is before me like a round ball.". Besides demonstrating that the Ancient Egyptians knew the Earth was spherical, it also indicates that someone viewed our planet from somewhere beyond it! And that is only possible either by flying in a space ship or by flying "in the astral body" during an act of dedication or initiation conducted by the hierophants.

The Ancient Egyptian texts state that in its motion the Earth obeys the same lays as the other planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Mercury and Venus. And they also believed that the Sun, which later European science considered immobile, moved through the Universe and called it "a ball swimming in the bowels of the goddess Nut".
