The origin of the constellation:

Mesopotamian astrologers divided the starry sky into several regions for the convenience of studying and observing many stars in the sky, and each region was a constellation. It is difficult to tell exactly when humans began to have the concept of constellations, and this astronomical knowledge was known long before historical records. The name of the constellation probably comes from the sailors who sailed early.

In 270 BC, the Greek poet Aratus wrote Things, in which 47 constellations were mentioned. According to the star regions recorded in Objects, the Antarctic in the period described in the book is not consistent with the current Antarctic due to precession, so it can be inferred that the starry sky recorded in the book was before 2000 BC. So some people think that the practice of dividing the starry sky into constellations originated from Babylon in Mesopotamia, and the constellations of Greece and Egypt in Sumerian period may have been introduced from this area.
