If I only understood the angles and dangles of geometry, there is probably better ways to do it, but this is how I did it.

I started by making a cube as accurately as possible. the corners make the eight points of the star. Next draw from point to point on each side ( X ). Shade the space between the X lines. I shaded to reduce getting confused. Remove shaded section and repeat.

Egyptians believed that it represented eight deities, four male gods and four female gods, known as the Ogdoad. However, a universal meaning of such stars is that they stand for life, from our birth to death and the wisdom we all possess, no matter how rich or poor we are.
