People from ancient times knew of the constellations that do not move in contract to the planets which do. Thus they are "firm."
This is absolutely 100% untrue. The understanding of the movement of constellations, also known as precession, has been recognized by many ancient civilizations, including the Persians, Sumerians, Babylonians, Ancient Greeks, and the Maya... The Ancient Greeks, in particular, had a term for it, "the Great Year," described by Plato. Hipparchus is often credited with discovering the precession of the equinoxes around 150 BC. The Maya's Long Count calendar also reflects an awareness of astronomical cycles that span vast periods. This knowledge was often used in the context of astrology, agriculture, and the timing of religious ceremonies.
LOL, the UN logo... these tards also isolate isometric navigation maps as "proof that teh US Navy knew the Earth was flat back in the 40s" without realizing that these are NAVIGATION maps (for use in paper, with protractors, while flying). Tards. I swear to God I'm going to get every single one of them.
