YooKan.org : two Web interfaces
dedicated to (Space) ArcheoAstronomy
Within this section, two Web interfaces are at your disposal :
A Web interface dedicated to (Space) ArchaeoAstronomy will soon make available to anyone willing to contribute to the development of modern archaeoastronomy :
a set of information resources (articles, books, thesis, space data, etc.) which have contributed in the past or may contribute in the future to the development of Egyptian ArchaeoAstronomy;
the description of the longstanding known archaeological remains or the recently discovered archaeological remains using satellite imagery and relevant to the archaeoastronomical field;
a set of software resources (dedicated to the analysis and processing of space data, to modern archaeoastronomy) leading to study the astronomical orientation or content of the archaeological remains. Free tests of these softwares are made available into the Web interface detailed on the right column;
a collaborative workspace (mailing list, tweets, wiki) between the members of this Web interface;
a publication area of the results obtained, validated or being validated.
Note : This Web interface is under development. Thanks for your patience ...

A Web interface leading to test for free the Culture Diff' softwares developed for the needs of modern archaeoastronomy.
These tests lead you to determine:
the dates of heliacal rising and setting of the star of Sirius in 2012 AD;
various dates of heliacal rising of the star of Sirius in the past of Egypt (according to an inscription from the el-Lahun temple, the Ebers Calendar, a text of Elephantine, the Decree of Canopus, a Ptolemaic inscription found on a monument at Aswan, the De Die Natali of Censorinus, the date of foundation of the temple of Hathor at Dendera);
the dates of solstices and equinoxes in 2012 AD;
the astronomical sources of orientation of the pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara, of the pyramid of Cheops at Giza and of the pyramid of Sahura at Abusir;
the astronomical orientation of the so-called « air-shafts » of the Cheops' pyramid at Giza ;
the astronomical source of orientation of the temples of Hathor and Isis at Denderah, as well as the reasons why the orientation of the main axis of the temple of Isis, built on three occasions, has varied over time.
