Map 2. Full Reconstruction of the Babylonian Star-Map

Map 2 draws on a wide range of sources including the Greek Star-map, the Dendera Zodiacs and medieval Arabian traditions, to produce a complete reconstruction of the Babylonian heavens. This is, I believe, the first concerted attempt to reconstruct the Babylonian Star-map in the modern era.
The basic meanings of the constellations are summarised in A Brief Guide to the Babylonian Constellations.
For more information the reader is referred to 'Babylonian Star-lore, An Illustrated Guide to the Star-lore and Constellations of Ancient Babylonia' by Gavin White.
