I am not, Egyptology kinda left me cold, but riddle me this. Why in this time band did sun and moon rituals take over the minds of the peoples from England to Sumeraria?

I don't honestly know...Akahenton was 18 dynasty... he worshiped only the Sun God and he moved his city to get rid of those pesky priests and he was much hated for changing from the old ways....his son...King Tut changed things back to the old way due to extreme pressure....but you are right...many of the great cultures did worship the sun God...even the Inca,Maya and Aztec....maybe because they all experts on the astronomy.

the Pennsylvania railroad runs near an old canal bed by my grandfathers house. The canal was built in the 1820's about the same time as the Erie canal. That canal represented something like 3-4 thousand year old technology. When the railroad came in during the 1840's the canal was quickly displaced. The great leap in technology was about as big as the trip to the moon in 1969.

How did it happen that men went from canal building to moon walking in the space of 130 years?

In the future it will look like some alien civlization just put its foot down.

Five thousand years ago people started looking up. Why? My guess would be that there were a few comet strikes that got people's attention. The archaelogical literature these days suggests that there was some kind of event like a comet/meteor strike in about 2200 BC that brought down the Old Kingdom in Egypt and the ancient Sumerians in Mesopotamia.
