Myth of southern cross

Ancient astronomers seem to think that the stars in the Southern Cross are part of Centauri, and they are surrounded by Centauri in three directions. The Victorian scholar Laren drew people's attention to the early traditional evidence about the cross in his catalogue. In 1 1 century, the ancient Arab astrologer Al Bernie noticed that a southern constellation called Sura could be seen at 30 degrees north latitude in India. As Allen pointed out, this may provide clues for us to design Dante's Divine Comedy (1early 4th century). When I entered the southern hemisphere through the entrance of purgatory, Dante declared that I was focused on the other pole, and I saw only four stars that primitive people had seen (purgatory 1: 22 ~ 24).

Now the Southern Cross is out of sight in the northern hemisphere. Ancestors refer to the earliest Christians, because you can see the cross in Jerusalem in the Christian era. Dante is clearly aware of the influence of precession. He refers to the godless era after the death of Christ, when the Southern Cross has gradually disappeared at this latitude. The Southern Cross is not regarded as a cross in all cultures. In central Australia, these stars are called "talons".
