Dendera zodiac
The sculptured Dendera zodiac (or ''Denderah zodiac'') is a widely known Egyptian bas-relief from the ceiling of the ''pronaos'' (or portico) of a chapel dedicated to Osiris in the Hathor temple at Dendera, containing images of Taurus (the bull) and the Libra (the scales). This chapel was begun in the late Ptolemaic period; its ''pronaos'' was added by the emperor Tiberius. This led Jean-François Champollion to date the relief correctly to the Greco-Roman period, but most of his contemporaries believed it to be of the New Kingdom. The relief, which John H. Rogers characterised as "the only complete map that we have of an ancient sky",〔John H. Rogers, "(Origins of the ancient constellations: I. The Mesopotamian traditions )", ''Journal of the British Astronomical Association'' 108 (1998) 9–28〕 has been conjectured to represent the basis on which later astronomy systems were based.〔(Zodiac of Dendera ), epitome. (Exhibition, Leic. square). J. Haddon, 1825.〕 It is now on display at the Musée du Louvre, Paris.
==Dates of eclipses==
Sylvie Cauville of the Centre for Computer-aided Egyptological Research at Utrecht University and Éric Aubourg dated it to 50 BC through an examination of the configuration it shows of the five planets known to the Egyptians, a configuration that occurs once every thousand years, and the identification of two eclipses.
The solar eclipse indicates the date of March 7, 51 BC: it is represented by a circle containing the goddess Isis holding a baboon (the god Thoth) by the tail.
The lunar eclipse indicates the date of September 25, 52 BC: it is represented by an Eye of Horus locked into a circle.
