Description

The “'Bing Ding” symbol on the Dendera Zodiac is the key to decoding its astronomical prototype, which marks the position of the summer solstice in the northern ecliptic sky. By accurately reverting the division of the 12 zodiac signs, a vector coordinate star map can be made to precisely mark the distribution of the ecliptic sky zone on the Dendera Zodiac, and thus to obtain the ecliptic longitude values of the celestial objects depicted on it. Finally, the exact time of the astronomical characteristics depicted on the Dendera Zodiac can be identified with the tool of astronomical software.
