The Astronomer Priest

"I have been designated among the chiefs of men the guides of the country chosen by the King. One will not find anyone more favored than I telling the hour conforms to the desire of the god so that he may give order to erect constructions announcing to man his future, telling him about his youth and his death; telling the years, the months, the days, and the hours, the course over every star by observation of its path.
Senty, son of Pen -Sobek justified.

"Oh, Master of the Gods, in whose retinue you have caused me to reach a ripe old age a beautiful tomb in the temple of (…...) I having been an Astronomer in the temple of his lord.
Senty, son of the same Pen-Sobek justified."

Senty Astronomer-Priest in the Temple of Sobek in Khenty...
3rd Century B.C.

First, why do you not believe the written word of the Ancient Egyptian Priest who clearly states they were encoding messages in structures?
