Astronomical Surface Decorations on Ceramics, Mesopotamia, part IVb

I'm still trying to get more info on the Sumerian Planisphere we've been looking at. Andis Kaulins was nice enough to answer my plea, next stop the British Museum!

In the mean time, using Andis' date (approx 3300 BC) I took a look at the sky back then from Iraq for today's day and month. If you have the open source program Celestia, here's what it looked like.
