25. The Cosmic Egg and Total Solar Eclipses

- & Total Solar Eclipses.
- Most cosmic egg creation myths can be readily seen to have been influenced by visual phenomena that are only seen in total eclipses of the sun, for instance it is easy to think of the sun as being born from the black disc or "egg" of the moon as it emerges from behind it at the end of totality of a solar eclipse. ...
- Above and beyond this it is a curious but readily observable fact that during some total solar eclipses, particularly those that occur near the minimum phase of sunspot activity, the sun's corona halo shining out around the darkened moon bears a distinct resemblance to a gigantic white bird. ...
- Both the Egyptian and Assyrian winged disc symbols definitely represented the sun, of this there is no doubt, and both the ancient Egyptians and Assyrians are known to have observed numerous solar and lunar eclipses over the very long spans of their ancient civilizations and they were also reported to be able to accurately predict the occurrence of eclipses. ...
- The myth of the phoenix can be understood to have been inspired by the bird-like appearance of the sun's corona in total solar eclipses occurring during sunspot minima. ...
- It should be clear by now that the only time that "rays" are ever seen completely surrounding the sun's disc in a relatively even pattern is during a total eclipse of the sun when the sun's corona with its rays and streamers become visible, thus most depictions of rayed suns should be understood to be composite images which incorporate a visual phenomenon that is seen during total solar eclipses. ...
- Another myth that was clearly inspired solar eclipses, both total and annular, is that the sun and the moon are making love during the eclipse. ...

- Although scientists have travelled to eclipses for over 200 years, their expeditions were for scientific observation. The hardships of travel to remote areas where eclipses normally occurred, the expense, and the risk of being 'clouded-out' discouraged the pursuit of the eclipse to all but serious astronomy buffs. ...
