I read somewhere that Saturn had a landfill issue, so the rings are composed of garbage baggies they sent into orbit.
I believe it.
It wasnt just the Egyptians. Every single ancient culture on Earth worshipped some form of Saturn as the deity. . . and also recognized Saturn as the luminary in the sky. Every single one. Why? It distinctly was not Sol they so recognized. The image they drew was either a circle with a dot in the middle, or a spoked wheel, a symbol of Saturn. Not a single culture every drew the luminary the way a school child today draws it: a circle with rays beaming down onto the Earth, until we got to the post Golden Age, such as with the later Egyptian era when Ra, Sol, the usurper, exists. Again, why?

World's oldest telescope?According to Professor Giovanni Pettinato of the University of Rome, a rock crystal lens, currently on show in the British museum, could rewrite the history of science. He believes that it could explain why the ancient Assyrians knew so much about astronomy. It is a theory many scientists might be prepared to accept, but the idea that the rock crystal was part of a telescope is something else. To get from a lens to a telescope, they say, is an enormous leap. Professor Pettinato counters by asking for an explanation of how the ancient Assyrians regarded the planet Saturn as a god surrounded by a ring of serpents?

The claim is that matches what you see in iconography, particularly Shamesh glyphs from around the ancient near East, e.g.
One of the problems I have with that is that it looks to me at least like you'd have to have some other large body, possibly Neptune behind the Earth i.e. between Earth and the sun to cast a shadow like that on the face of Saturn.
Note that even at a fairly late date, the Southern / Saturnian system had smaller bodies up fairly close as orbiting bodies and then the larger bodies, Venus, Mars, and Earth back further away in an electromagnetic alignment leftover from the original Herbig/Haro string configuration.
The reason for the roughly 26-degree axis tilts of Neptune, Saturn, Mars, and Earth, presumably, is that when the Southern system was captured, those bodies, still in an inline arrangement, flew into the plane of the sun/Jupiter system from the South at a rough 26-degree angle and, as those bodies peeled out and began to orbit the sun as they do now, ordinary gyroscopic force caused them to retain that angle of approach in the form of axis tilts.
My brother was an auto wholesaler who worked with the big East coast auctions in Fredericksburg Va. and Manheim Pa. Do that for thirty years and you get to see lots of cars... He said he never saw any sort of a mechanical problem with a Saturn.
All around the globe, there are depictions of what is commonly known as 'the labyrinth' - which I fancy is an ancient depiction of a disturbance of the rings of Saturn, as seen from below...when Saturn was prominent in our sky.
No, no. Left socks are actually wire hanger larvae.
