Ancient traditions also tell us the Earth is flat.
f the Earth was inverted, as many ancient traditions tell us and as the Senemut Ceiling appears to show us
Do you think the bottom panel is an accurate representation of the night sky, astronomically?
What do you reckon turned the world over?
All of them?
If you do your research properly, you'll find that the ancients knew the world was round
And your assumption is that it is an accurate representation of the sky rather than serving some other, more esoteric purpose.
It's the top (southern) panel that shows us the planets, Orion, Sirius and the ecliptic.
No, it's rather important, actually.
The mechanism of an Earth inversion is an entirely different question as to whether it actually occurred or not.

Alexander Pogo was an Egyptologist and he could read hieroglyphics:
Yes. Indeed. One should first have physical evidence that such a world changing event happened at all. Something more than 20th century cherry picking of folktales, loose interpretations, and fabrications to support one's hypothesis. Veliskovsky tried hard but the laws of physics are well enforced. Venus did not originate from Jupiter, did not careen around the Solar System, and did not invert Earth.
One step at a time.

Great.
I know that Veliskovsky put great significance in that passage from Pogo's essay. I don't suppose you have a link to the entire paper? Did Pogo think the artwork was meant as an accurate astronomical representation?

I'm implying that the artwork in question may not be meant to represent astronomical reality. I wonder what those who can actually read hieroglyphics have to say about it.

Yeah.
And Velikovsky was not an Egyptologist or an astronomer. He was not a scientist of any sort. Like Sitchin, he had no understanding of orbital mechanics, among other things, but he told a cool story.
Pogo was an Egyptologist
I blame Velikovsky for cherry picking, distorting, and fabricating in order to support his absurd hypothesis.
Don't blame Velikovsky for merely pointing out the blindingly obvious to him.

Mostly he was an astronomer.

This astronomical ceiling has caused much debate and even controversy among scholars for many decades since the arrangement of the stars and planets it depicts only make sense when viewed from the perspective of the Earth having once been upside-down.
