Around 21:40 onwards: Mr Ridpath makes the somewhat speculative claim that the Greeks couldn't have invented the Constellations because the 36 degree North latitude is "too far South" of where the Greeks lived. Is he suggesting that the Ancient Greeks never ventured a handful of degrees southward into the Mediterranean? We know that they did: Crete, Cyprus etc. And at any rate, the great majority of the Constellations known then are visible from Greece and all parts of the World north.

Job 38: 31 Can you tie the ropes of the Kimah constellation, Or untie the cords of the Kesil constellation? 32 Can you lead out a constellation in its season, Or guide the Ash constellation along with its sons? 33 Do you know the laws governing the heavens, Or can you impose their authority on the earth? 34 Can you raise your voice to the clouds To cause a flood of water to cover you? 35 Can you send out lightning bolts? Will they come and say to you, Here we are!36 Who put wisdom within the clouds Or gave understanding to the sky phenomenon? Apocalypse 14: 6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. 7 He was saying in a loud voice: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of judgment by him has arrived, so worship the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the springs of water.” ("יְהֹוָה,YHWH,Yahveh, Jehova") (Isaiah 42: 8-9, Psalms 83: 19).

one thing you can say about the writer of Job: he was a pretty good observer and could give a clear picture of his observations, even with unfamiliar names like behemoth one easily recognise the description of a elephant in it. Kimah was probably the Hyades ( or Taurus) and Kesil Antares ( or Scorpio) and Ash or Ayish could be connected to the Big Dipper.

The images, contours are also visible on Google earth. You can find the outlines, like from Hercules, Big Bear and Little Bear and many more. So the sky pics mirror the earth features and are for easier navigation, denoting land and sea features. Stars do correspond with earth features as well, like Milky Way with Mariana Trench and Orion's belt with Giza and so on. As above, so below.

The Greeks got most of their astronomical knwoledge form the Chaldeans, and this was further developed in Alexandria which was a melting pot of many OTHER cultures. This video gives an impression as if most of this was stemming form advancements by the Greeks, which just isn't' the case and is pretty clear in most history scholarship.

The Hellenistic zodiacal constellations are derived from the "Path of the Moon" in the Babylonian Mul Apin (Look it up on Wikipedia). And that Greco Roman Hellenistic zodiac become predominant in the west due to Roman colonization of Europe and European colonization of the Americas and elsewhere. It doesn't matter if some silly 19th century protestant Christians in the UK and US put the cart before the horse. And the book also titled "Mazzaroth" is where modern Christians get that dumb shit from and it's the most mindless of any astronomical interpretation of the Bible.

The FORM (as in, "these lines look like a scorpion") of the constellations more than likely came last. The MEANING as related to seasonal events or temporal markers (i.e. the season of the floods and monsoons, rams coming down from the mountains, harvest) probably came first, So the general likeness of the NAME probably came second, The STORIES that were used to encode the knowledge in a societies rituals probably came third, The SHAPE (the collection of stars) of the star groups probably came fourth, after a desire for more specific study increased, The FORM, as in making up some BS so that the SHAPE aligns with the character of the NAME of the constellation probably came last. or something simmilar, Its almost all just mnemonics, calanders and societal information encoding. But the scorpion, for example, may of represented a time of year when scorpions came out more.

I don't agree that the stories came first. You can find those shapes if you look long and hard enough. As an example, the Great Bear is nearly always drawn with the handle of the Plough forming a long tail - not very bear-like - but the handle is actually the back of the bear's head, neck and shoulders. Look closely and the fainter stars around Alkaid pretty well form a bear's snout. You can find a sea-goat in Capricornus if you ignore boundaries. As Ian kind of points out, you have to "think outside the box" - the boundaries - and remember skies were clearer then. Seems clear to me that people began to see these shapes as they gazed at the stars, and wove their stories around what they saw. =o)

The reason why the current IAU constellation categories don’t match imagery is more a product of 1.) Modern Light pollution environment versus ancient skies 2.) Modern IAU constellation system clipping of original 3.) IAU constellation stick figures bare no resemblance. The reference to Cassiopeia’s comb is misrepresentative. Cassiopeia was seen as the queen holding onto her throne as she spins. The comb was a later addition of Coron to honor King Ptolemy’s wife’s votive offering) to include his sisters votive offering of her hair and a discarded comb as a new constellation (Coma Berenices). ie it’s a family joke

The Zodiac is located within The Plane Of The Ecliptic which is attached to the Earth. It [the’ known' Zodiac] is a possession of the Earth. It [The Plane Of The Ecliptic] has 12 divisions no matter if we can derive 12 moon phases for an Earth year or 13 moon phases for an Earth year. No one suspects the Earth of ruling an astrological sign. Why? We are Earthlings. The Earth is not passive.

I was always fascinated by the universe and always looking up. I had no fear of the universe. No Lovecraftian Dread of the unknown. I spoke of the wonders of the universe to my dad and he said, I don't really look up. I look down because everything I need to do is down here. In other words there are different personality types. So every single group or tribe or every period in history some were looking up and some were sort of frightened by it I guess you would say? Another friend I was talking to him about the amazing things of the universe and he said, please stop. I don't like to think about those things. It makes me dizzy to hear about that stuff. He was definitely not into astronomy. Then there are those who are so terrified of space and rocks flying around and basically fear of the unknown that they want the Earth to be flat with a protective dome so nothing can come and harm them. Anyone who was looking up would tend to see patterns and pictures. And would notice different constellations at different times of the year. And they would wonder why. And they would probably wonder what caused the phases of the moon. And those who were looking down, perhaps afraid or felt dizzy to look up, or simply felt it was a waste of time since the questions could not be answered, would not see pictures in the sky. Or if they did it gave them nightmares though I cannot imagine anyone not loving the night sky. But those who did love the night sky definitely connected the dots. Is far back as eyeballs connected to necks could look up. How could you be Homo Sapien, Neanderthal or even Cro-Magnon and not see patterns in the sky?

So, no one ever actually noticed we only actually have one hemisphere that is mirrored and every single star is doubly named, as one observation is done opposite the other, in inverse directions. Start counting on a different date, looking another direction, and before you know it you have invented a second Southern Hemisphere. If you are a scientist, have an astrolabe laser edged onto two glass discs, the flip one over the other for a perfect inverted match, two halves matching each other perfectly. Before you mock me for being the first one to ever notice. Match them up and see for yourselves, even by looking at both halves can you see how half the milkyway matches the other half. No one ever noticed they invented a second hemisphere by naming the same stars moving in reverse order? Really? And not only that, we might have done doubled it twice. The 6 we only ever see are also observed from two opposite perspectives in reverse, when standing on earth.

Oh wow the Dutch invented the second half not understanding the stars appear to rotate in reverse for both halves. Now another Dutch man is explaining to you why haha.

The constellations shapes will not appear to change in the future at all, that’s an assumption, they will never change, because they are fixed to a dome. And half the sphere is made up entirely.

@@fotiskoutsou2089 go look at some archaeology buddy, I'm not the one claiming to be educating people 😂 The pyramids, stone circles, artwork across messopatamia, most the Greek gods names are taken from Egyptian history also shows that 😂 it takes less than a minute to find consistent evidence that suggest that what is said here is not the full truth 😂

People need to look into the Mazzaroth. Read Psalms 19 and it will make perfect sense why every language decided on the same constellations. Imagination wouldn't have the whole world completely agreeing on the same thing thousands of years before having the technology to universally display it.
