Did the ancient Egyptians have a telescope?

Answer 1

Telescopes can only function with the use of accurate optical lenses of glass or a similar material. Modern radio telescopes are obviously an exception, but the ancient Egyptians did not have the technology to produce either kind.

Ancient Egyptian glass was used for small decorative objects, beads, statues and containers; it was mixed with a pigment to create faience; no form of ancient Egyptian glass can be used in a telescope because clear glass could not be produced.

The idea that any hieroglyph represents a "deep space object" is pure fantasy; all hieroglyphs have been catalogued and classified separately by Sir Alan Gardiner and the British Museum in their respective systems and they include no "deep space objects". Such a suggestion demonstrates a deep ignorance of Egyptian hieroglyphs and their meanings.
