Egypt: Golden Capsule Out of Time
The multiple correspondences ─ between heaven and earth, the directions of space, between the terrestrial Nile and the celestial Nile (the Milky Way) ─ are integrated with the "Mythical Time": the time of Beginnings and of the Gods, a time to which the Egyptians always tried to return, an ancient nostalgia always present in their history. That is why each new Pharaoh began his reign beginning with the year one, the first year. Egypt was a Golden Capsule, eternal, always repeated, a habitable place for gods, men and animals, beyond time.
