The Famous Astronomer of the Ancient Egypt was Amenhotep.

Because of perhaps a dozen years of peaceful rule during Amenhotep I's reign, his accomplishments included elaborate building work. Amenhotep I repaired and restored many ancient temples along the Nile.
There are evidence of his work in Upper Egyptian sites such as Kom Ombo,Elephantine,Abydos and the temple of Nekhbet, but he seems to have done little building work in Lower Egypt.
Many of the sites where Amenhotep I built had also seen activity by his father, and at Abydos, for example, he erected a chapel commemorating Ahmose.
