Solar Disc

The Sun's Watcher

The Obsidian Solar Disc, forged from polished volcanic glass, is an ancient astronomical device. Its markings align with solar cycles and eclipses, suggesting it was used by an advanced pre-Egyptian culture to track celestial events. The disc's center bore a hole that may have been used to cast solar alignments during solstices.

The Sun's Legacy

The Predynastic Alignment

The Obsidian Solar Disc was found in a tomb complex predating even the oldest Egyptian dynasties. The artifact was discovered by Dr. Helena Virel during her expedition to a necropolis outside Saqqara. Its solar glyphs appear to correspond not only with known solar cycles but also with eclipses not predicted in early calendars.

Carbon dating and spectroraphic analysis confirmed the disc's alignment was precise for at least 3,000 years. Some researchers speculate it may have been a ritual tool to predict solar events, while others suggest it was a status symbol of celestial kingship.

Dr. Helena Virel, Solar Archaeoastronomer

"The Solar Disc is one of the few artifacts that directly links prehistoric civilizations to precise astronomical calculations. Its alignment capabilities suggest an understanding of celestial events far beyond what we've previously attributed to that era."
