I & several other researchers have identified what we have reasonable grounds to believe are pictorial depictions of #SolarEclipses, &or #SolarEclipseSymbolism, carved into the #MegalithArt of #Dowth, #Knowth & #Loughcrew.

We arrived at our #SolarEclipse hypotheses independently of each other.

#SolarEclipses are coming to Europe in 2026, 2027 and 2028.

Curious how we predict them? Check this out 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

This infographic is titled 'Types of solar eclipse'. It shows three solar eclipses. Running from left to right: a total solar eclipse, which looks like a dark circle surrounded by a glowing, perfectly circular ring. An annular solar eclipse, which is also a dark circle surrounded by a ring, but the ring is more solid and thicker on one side. A partial solar eclipse, which is a yellow crescent-shape, almost like a biscuit with a large bite taken out of it.

A purple band marked ‘Total solar eclipse 12 August 2026’ curves from Spain's northwest to central east. An orange band marked ‘Total solar eclipse 2 August 2027’ covers Spain's southern tip and northern Africa. A green band marked ‘Annular solar eclipse 26 January 2028’ crosses the peninsula diagonally from southern Portugal to northeastern Spain.

2/ Solar eclipses are spectacular -- but, more than that, they reveal the ultra-dependable clockwork of the solar system. I loved writing this short essay for @sciam.bsky.social:

All the posts about #SolarEclipses remind me of the
#LunarEclipse in July 2018. I missed the blood moon, but was amazed just how golden it was 🌕 one day after (photo taken with a tripod and telephoto lens from my balcony in Berlin) #histsci

I caught that point.

I was just "underlining" it by providing a genuine photo of what yesterday's solar eclipse actually looked like above Stonehenge.

I try to "debunk" such #AIslop images of #SolarEclipses, which don't even accurately depict what a #TotalSolarEclipse actually looks like.

This hypothesis is interesting, but #AncientEgyptians experienced #SolarEclipses, inc. #TotalSolarEclipses, centuries earlier.

One cannot properly understand #AncientEgyptian religion without understanding how #eclipses inspired certain religious beliefs aka #mythology & iconography.

My #Eclipsology research finds that #SolarEclipses, especially #TotalSolarEclipses, profoundly influenced #AncientEgyptian religious beliefs & iconography. They are central to #Egyptian beliefs about rebirth after death.

#WingedSunSymbols are inspired by a bird-like pattern displayed in the corona.

There's a common myth that the Sun & Moon are "making love" during #SolarEclipses.

A white bird-like pattern is displayed in the Sun's corona during some #TotalSolarEclipses.

Ancient people could, & I believe did, synthesize these 2 mythical perceptions of a #TotalSolarEclipse.

Transmission of #OralTradition isn't required.

The concept of a white bird making love to a woman can be arrived at independently if you combine the #SolarEclipseMyth that the Sun & Moon are making love during #SolarEclipses with this bird-like pattern displayed in the Sun's corona.

Solar Eclipse: myth ❌ or fact ✅ ?

🔴 is a bird-like pattern perceivable in the Sun's corona during some total solar eclipses?
🔴 do #TotalSolarEclipses look like the pupil and iris of a disembodied eye staring down from the sky?
🔴 are #SolarEclipses depicted in Irish #MegalithicArt?

#Eclipsology
A Miloslav Druckmuller composite photo of the 1991 total solar eclipse reveals a bird-like pattern in the Sun's corona An astronomical illustration of the 1878 total solar eclipse by Étienne Léopold Trouvelot reveals the original source of inspiration for winged Sun symbols. A Wendy Carlos composite photo of the 2001 total solar eclipse resembles the pupil and iris of an eye. The black disk of the Moon forms its pupil while the rays and streamers of the Sun's corona radiating outwards from the black lunar disk mimic the muscle structure of the iris. A black & white astronomical drawing of the 1851 total solar eclipse on the left is very similar to a 5 millennia old petroglyph carved into Dowth's kerbstone 51 aka "The Stone of the Seven Suns".
