Field notes
The homepage lays out five connected chambers and describes choosing a location, date, and year to examine the sky. It lists six sites along the Nile and six timekeeping instruments, while the archive is said to contain 36 records drawing on sources such as the Pyramid Texts and the Dendera Zodiac. The technical description names Meeus' algorithms, JPL elements, and IAU precession; these are claims on the site, not independently tested here.
