To: Antonello; blam

What I find interesting is the scorpion.

Why should the two continents have the same celestial imagery?

It wouldn't be the only time.

Ursa Major was known as the Bear to the American Indians as well as Greeks.

Pioneer psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung came up with his theory of psychic archetypes and the collective unconscious. Under this idea symbology is universal in the human race. This is why myths (the great flood myth for example) is found in various versions all over the world. And symbols like the cross or the swastika are used all over the world by different cultures.

Probably because Scorpio is one of the few constellations that actually looks like what it's suppose to be.

Maybe because the constellation is shaped like a scorpion, and scorpions were plentiful in the desert???

They also had commercial trade.

Most likely because the Vedic culture influenced many cultures all over the world thousands of years ago.

Umm -- because the first thing that comes to mind when you view that part of the sky is a scorpion, with its curled tail and pincers?

Seriously. Even two closely related cultures as the United States and Great Britain see constellations differently. We see a big dipper and they see a plow.

Maybe because the imagery was universal.

Keep in mind that Chaco is on a great circle with many other celestial observatories around the world.

If you haven't been to chaco to spend a day or two......go.
