>>20342924Nigger, it doesn't mean we live on a flat plane. People in the past used stars to keep track of seasons and years, and also as points of reference for navigation. The positions of stars in the sky also held astrological importance. So they mapped what they literally saw from their perspective on earth, not what things are supposed to look like from a 3rd person perspective out in space. And no, the stars are not the same today. The pole star for Egyptians was not Polaris. The shape of the constellations were also probably sightly different.
