Egyptian Star

Turn your iPhone into a working ancient Egyptian star clock. Egyptian Star is an offline interactive almanac and simulator of ancient Egyptian astronomy. Explore the 36 decans, watch the night sky move, decode temple alignments, and follow the myth of Ra — all from bundled content that runs with no account and no network connection. DAILY DECAN ALMANAC Open the app and see which decan rises at dusk today. Convert the current date to the Egyptian civil calendar and read a short daily myth snippet drawn from the night-sky tradition. DECAN EXPLORER Browse all 36 decans with their names, associated deities, star patterns, and weeks of the year. Tap any decan for a detailed card with the sky lore behind it. STAR CLOCK SIMULATOR Drag a time slider across an interactive night sky and watch decans rise and set hour by hour. Mini-challenges ask you to identify the current decan, turning an ancient timekeeping method into hands-on practice. TEMPLE ALIGNMENT VISUALIZER Explore interactive diagrams of Karnak, Abu Simbel, and other temples to see how they were oriented to solstices and stars. A shadow-casting tool lets you work out the solstices from shadow lengths — the same logic ancient builders used. MYTH OF RA STORY MODE Journey through the 12 hours of the night with illustrated, tap-to-progress scenes and simple puzzles that unlock each next hour. EGYPTIAN CALENDAR CONVERTER Convert any modern date to the Egyptian civil calendar — three seasons, 12 months of 30 days, plus 5 epagomenal days — and calculate sed festival dates. ASTRONOMY QUIZ Test yourself with multiple-choice and drag-and-drop quizzes on decans, constellations, and alignments. Compete on GameCenter leaderboards.
