Description
In the third month of the twenty-second year, the scribe saw a circle of fire in the sky. It was silent and as wide and long as a large boat. He and others were frightened. He went to Pharaoh, and Pharaoh and many soldiers gathered and saw the ball of fire. They were afraid. The next day, the balls of fire multiplied in the sky, and no one understood anything. The priests went to the temples, and Pharaoh ordered the scribes to record it. (From a papyrus in the Egyptian section of the Vatican Museum.) “And when I was speaking to my children, the two men carried me up to heaven, and they brought me down to the first heaven and showed me the stars and their order, and I saw two hundred angels.” (Book of Enoch)
