Constellations as Seafaring Routes: The Stars are a Map of Earth
via Dr. Kai Helge Wirth Renowned geografer and art historian Dr. Kai Helge Wirth has made a groundbreaking discovery that revolutionises our understanding of ancient Sumerian culture and its astronomical knowledge.

This is no wonder, since the Sumerians themselves say the constellations (which they invented) are “ways of the ocean”.

The identified constellations form a precise representation of coastlines, currents and navigation…
