There is much different cosmology around the world, for example, Religious Cosmology or Biblical Cosmology.
Several weeks ago, one Deaf Christian woman posted the comment and the photo. She mentions that her hobby is astronomy – stars, spaces and Egyptian people like Cleopatra, Thutmose or Nefetria. It is not very clear because her English is not so good and she signed in the video for what she means to talk about her favourite hobby. The deaf blogger presume is that she was signing about Egyptian Idols rather astronomy.
Surely there has been confusing the difference between Cosmology and astronomy. It is difficult to explain to someone when a D/deaf person may be reading this than anyone else.
Let take a look at Religious Cosmology:
- an explanation of the origin
- development of the universe as a whole
- the religious conception of the world and particular phenomena in the world.
Let take a look at Biblical Cosmology:
It is biblical writers’ conception of the cosmos as an organised, structured entity, including its origin, order, meaning and destiny.
Who invented cosmology? Both Plato and Pythagoras influenced the first logically consistent cosmological worldview, developed by the Greeks in the 4th century B.C. This early cosmology was an extrapolation of the Greek theory of matter proposed by Empedocles. http://abyss.uoregon.edu/~js/ast123/lectures/lec01.html
However, there is another website which may help you because it is difficult to get the fact correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_cosmological_theories
Cosmology, the field of study that brings together the natural sciences, particularly astronomy and physics, in a joint effort to understand the physical universe as a unified whole. https://www.britannica.com/science/cosmology-astronomy
“Cosmology is a branch of astronomy that involves the origin and evolution of the universe, from the Big Bang to today and into the future. According to NASA, the definition of cosmology is “the scientific study of the large scale properties of the universe as a whole.”Sep 26, 2017,” https://www.space.com/16042-cosmology.html
The Egyptian Gods are different from Biblical/Religions, and here is a quote here.
Ancient Egyptian culture grew out of an understanding of these deities and the vital role they played in the immortal journey of every human being. Historian Margaret Bunson writes:
The numerous gods of Egypt were the focal points of the nation’s cultic rites and personal religious practices. They also played a part in the great mortuary rituals and in the Egyptian belief in posthumous eternal bliss (98).https://www.ancient.eu/article/885/egyptian-gods—the-complete-list/
It is not about Cleopatra, Thutmose or Nefetria as the Deaf woman mentions on Facebook. For example, Cleopatra was a living goddess (Queen of the Nile), and she was not Egyptian because her bloodline traced back to Macedonian Greece and Ptolemy I Soter.
Several Cosmology/Astronomy groups – The Egyptian/Mesopotamia Cosmology and Māori astronomy – tātai arorangi known in English, considered astronomical knowledge. https://www.maoriastronomy.co.nz/#:~:text=WHAT%20IS%20MAORI%20ASTRONOMY%3F,noted%20and%20examined%20by%20them.
How and whom does cosmology come to anyone?
Aristotle – geocentric cosmology that his works widely accepted for many centuries
Nicolaus Copernicus – (1473–1543) formulated a heliocentric cosmology.
Albert Einstein – (1879–1955) introduced general relativity and the cosmological constant.
Isaiah Newton – 1642–1727) formulated the law of universal gravitation and supported the heliocentric model.
Did anyone know or probably not know that there were D/deaf astronomers – John Goodricke and Konstantin Tsiolkowski?
Both men have lost their hearing at an early age by scarlet fever, and they used lip-reading during communication.
John Goodricke spent his time on his investigation of variable stars around or by 1783. The first discovery was the Algol known as the Winking Demon then the delta cephei. He died very at the age of 22 in 1786.
Konstantin Tsiolkowski was interested in space research and invented rocket powers powered by liquid fuel and oxygen for astronauts. His works known as the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation
