Does anyone have a star chart program handy? Fire it up and tell us how the stars of Orion looked in 30,500 BC. What does 32,500 years of stellar movement do to Orion's shape? (In other words, did it look like the figurine back then?)

Dadgumit, my son gave me a program Planetarium Gold for Christmas. We (he) had it look at something in 2,000BC when he was here for Christmas. Unfortunately I don't know how to use it or if it will go back that far. I've pinged him.

Just did that. Can't tell any significant change in the overall appearance of Orion while some other nearby constellations go wild.

I'm in complete agreement with others who have posted saying this is quite a stretch.
