The notion of three sacred treasures is found across various civilizations, often believed to be divine gifts. Japan’s Three Sacred Treasures encompass the sword Kusanagi, the mirror Yata no Kagami, and the jewel Yasakani no Magatama. Each treasure embodies a primary virtue: valor, wisdom, and benevolence, respectively.
The Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for the star Sirius bears a striking resemblance to these three objects, featuring an obelisk, a half circle, and a star.

This celestial event held immense importance to the Ancient Egyptians, who revered Sirius as the goddess of fertility.
