Scientists discover 500 BC sky map
Hyderabad: When the carving of the Great Bear constellation on a stone, made around 500 BC at Mudumala village in Mahbubnagar district of Andhra Pradesh were discovered, scientists were suitably astounded.
They began to wonder how ancient Indian astrologers could tell exactly how stars and constellations were grouped without the help of modern devices such as the telescope.
The mystery was unravelled when scientists discovered an ancient sky map in Hyderabad.
The sky map, which is probably the oldest in Asia, was carved out by megalithic Indians with astounding accuracy.
