Hey, I've been tracing the old solstice rites from the Han period and noticed they line up eerily with the star positions used in some modern dragon myths. Have you seen that pattern before?

I’ve also spotted the Orion belt showing up in the old Chinese “Three Stars” festival—those same bright points were later reinterpreted as the legs of the celestial dragon in Tang poems. And the Pleiades, which the Sumerians called the Seven Sisters, were used to time the barley harvest, but by the medieval Abbasid astronomers they became the dragon’s tail in their sky maps. It’s all a patchwork of old charts being re‑wrote, almost like a manuscript that’s been scorched in places and half‑recovered in others. Keep chasing, but remember anything younger than a century is still fermenting, so be wary of the newer “evidence” that hasn’t dried yet.

Sounds like a good plan—just remember the latest charts are still steaming, so don't let them burn your curiosity before you’ve got the old ink dry. Good luck!

Glad you’re keeping the layers in order—just remember to stack the fresh pages on top of the scorched ones, so you don’t lose the faint script in the margins. Good luck on your hunt!
