I assemble a catalog of 555 coffin elements, including 118 cosmological vignettes from the 21 st /22 nd Dynasties, and report several observations.

In the first part of this paper, I combine astronomical simulations of the ancient Egyptian night sky with primary Egyptian sources to map the goddess Nut onto the Milky Way. With her head and groin firml…
