The Indestructibles information


The Indestructibles (Ancient Egyptian: j.ḫmw-sk – literally "the ones not knowing destruction"[1][2]) was the name given by ancient Egyptian astronomers to two bright stars which, at that time, could always be seen circling the North Pole.[3] The name is directly related to Egyptian belief in constant North as a portal to heaven for pharaohs, and the stars' close association with eternity and the afterlife.[4] These circumpolar stars are now known as Kochab (Beta Ursae Minoris), in the bowl of Ursa Minor or, the Little Dipper, and Mizar (Zeta Ursae Majoris), in Ursa Major, at the middle of the handle of the Big Dipper.[4]
