I don’t believe in any of this BS in post but 4000 BP, people could build and align with the sky. it wouldn’t be unheard of to build things that align with what they view as significant objects. they were unaware that the middle star is way farther away but so much larger it looks the same as the other two. they didn’t have a detailed grasp but could ascertain some movements. No, Orions belt hasn’t shifted much over the millenia. Orion’s shoulder (betelguise) should explode any day now though.
The latest news that I’ve seen is that it won’t explode for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. It’s predicted that in the next 300 years it’ll run out of fuel leading to collapse.

Sorry, yeah, that was sarcasm. Exactly, it’s 3 stars in a line that everyone would be more familiar with than the vast majority of people today.
There are loads of examples of ancient architecture that perfectly lines up with celestial events at a particular time.
I’m sorry, What?
Wait, is this something we won’t be able to see until like 300 years after it happens? Or do we just say it’s name three times?
I think it’s a few thousand light years away, but yes, it could have already happened.
say it’s name 3 times backwards will summon the demon called de.
Ed?
no, de-ez nutz.
