can you point it out on the chart and is it north or south of pisces?

anyway, can anyone follow through with that concept and tell me where the constellation Draco would be located on the globe of the earth, taking into consideration flynn's sky/earth map above?

one more question, what would be over rome and europe in general? more than one? which ones?
check germany too
oh and africa south of taurus and australia.
The ancients believed the earth to be surrounded by the sphere of the constellations, and they assigned to each country the star groups which were above that country's particular area of land. In the arrangement preserved in the writings of Aratus of Soli, the constellation of the eagle spreads its wings accross the North American continent; the serpent winds its coil over Mexico and Central America; and the dragon floats in the sky above Japan and China. Perhaps Sir Edward Landseer was not far wrong when he declared that the symbols of nations, and the emblems peculiar to their heraldry, originated in their ruling constellations. Just about everyone knows that the constellation of the Great Bear is in the sky aver Russia, and since time immemorial the bear that walks like a man has been the accepted symbol of the Russian State.

it makes sense, yes. although almost all the old civs had dragon kings, that fits in so well with their culture.
so essentially, we need to figure out where the abzu is stuffed in china too lol
is the bear on the back of the dragon or is it something else?
