Abstract
The architecture in the ancient civilization of Egypt is what taught the architectural designers in the Greek civilization, the Roman civilization and other civilizations, as the architecture in ancient Egypt was linked to the ancient Egyptian philosophy, which is the resurrection after death and the life of immortality, so the worship of the multiple ancient Egyptian deities was a sacred thing in his worldly life ; The ancient Egyptian artist was interested in building temples and tombs to commemorate and sanctify his deities at that time. The sun, the deity Ra, was a major deity for the ancient Egyptian. A large number among 1,200 deities in Qatar, all of Egypt, and 500 deities, according to the texts of the priests of the Temple of Amun, in Thebes, "Luxor now."

And we learned in our studies in applied arts, "Architecture is the mother of design." No matter what the disciplines differ; Accordingly, studying the theories and keys of architecture and their connection with astronomy represents a matter of great importance before dealing with the rules, theories and concepts of modern architecture.
