In this remarkable PhD Thesis, published as a book by BAR [Maravelia 2006], as it was written by a Scholar who combines both astronomical and Egyptological studies, the evolution of astronomical thought, as well as various astrono-mical and cosmovisional ideas in pharaonic Egypt (c. 2800–1200 BC) were adequately examined, after the most important religious texts (primarily Pyramid Texts (PT) and Coffin Texts (CT), and secondarily Book of the Dead (BD)). More specifically, the author examined the astronomical conceptions of the ancient Egyptians concerning the stars, the Sun, the Moon and the planets, as they are revealed in these funerary texts. Maravelia compared them to similar astronomical notions found in the Orphic Hymns; and finally, she compared them (mutatis mutandis) with the necessary epistemological prudence to the modern scientific astronomical and cosmological conceptions. It is to be noted that the author’s comparative study of the astronomical ideas of the Egyptians and the Orphics is complete, while her analysis of the Egyptian sources is not exhaustive, because other researchers had already worked on this domain with considerable success; nevertheless, a statistical analysis and a global comparative study of the corpora of PT and CT were presented in her book for the first time. The textual study of the Orphic Hymns and the funerary texts of the Egyptians was conducted within the interdisciplinary framework of both Egyptology and Archaeoastronomy. It showed that similar methods of textual analysis are very effective for dating ancient texts on the basis of their astronomical elements; it also offered much valuable information on the forma mentis and the astronomical ideas of the Egyptians of Antiquity.
