Chau is the name of an ancient Egyptian dean that comprised 20 dean stars . Richard-Anthony Parker and Otto Neugebauer recognized a star cluster in this star cluster . In the heavenly image of Dendera , this dean is represented as a kneeling woman , whom Teukros of Babylon called a dead woman . In the holy book of Hermes to Askeplios a mummy appears in connection with the dean Chau.
This is the spiral galaxy M 31 , which can be seen as a nebula with the naked eye on clear nights. The Andromeda nebula M 31 is located near the star ν Andromedae .
In the dean lists of the Sethos script , Chau represented the 29th dean on the body of the groove . The heliacal ascent was scheduled for the 16th Peret II and had as a dating basis the decree under Sesostris III. ( 12th Dynasty ) in his seventh year of reign.
