Pisces and we're moving into the age of Aquarius and before Pisces was the age of Aries and before Aries was the age of Taurus and you go back for another get to Leo the lion which is another I mean this the the symbology and certainly the dynastic Egyptians as well as many others had had very similar constellations and names for all of these constellations that we do so

I think there's a good indication that Sphinx could be essentially a processional marker, talking about a specific time, which in our current cycle would have been, I think, yeah, around 10,000-something BC.

But you could potentially add a whole cycle onto that to go back another nearly 26,000 years.

Which is an interesting possibility.

This is – I mean there's no doubt about the – I mean the processional cycle is an observable thing.

But naming them like Cancer, Leo.

I don't actually know.

It goes back – it's very common.

across multiple cultures, one of the craziest things.

It's actually depicted on the ceiling of the Temple of Dendera in ancient Egypt, the same constellations that we have, Pisces, the fish, Ares, the ram, you know, Leo, the lion.

I would suspect it's either the Egyptians or the Sumerians because that's about as far back as written knowledge goes.

I mean, it was the Sumerians followed by the Egyptians.

I don't know what their...

if the Sumerians had a zodiacal acknowledgement, but certainly the dynastic Egyptians did.

And that seems to have progressed from there down everyone.

Yeah, it says here that the iconography of star animals similar to these constellations appear on prehistoric seals, vases, and gaming boards from Mesopotamia may go back as far as 4000 BCE.

I think if you go to Gobekli Tepe and Martin Swetman's theories that a lot of the animal depictions on there may be showing constellations.

I don't believe they're the typical zodiacal constellations.

But it's... I mean, what's interesting is...

Let's see, are they found in Gobekli Tepe?
