Who put forward the twelve constellations?

Hello. Landlord! Glad to answer your question!

About 3500 years ago, there was a plain called Mesopotamia in today's Iraq, where a group of Babylonians lived. Legend has it that shepherds in Babylon connect the stars in the night sky and imagine them as 12 shapes, including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Lion, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Babylonians also carved the zodiac on stone tablets, and the sun passed through these constellations every year. It can be seen that the ancient Babylonians had the concept of "year". It is worth mentioning that the image of the zodiac has not changed after thousands of years, and it has also become the origin of western mythology and literature.
