Lots of art is representational, not accurate. Weren't different stars in the group visible in the past too?

Older folklore, same stories, has nine maidens not seven. I read the pleideas used to have nine more visible stars. Wasn't there a lost pleiad - a wandering pleiad maybe it was... they may have looked very different.


Dunno ,I assume thwey would have appeared much the same for the a few thousand years at lest but not sure . A lot of the problem with the nebra doodah is interp[reation of the biggest symbol whether it represents the sun or moon is critical but how can you tell which it is supposed to represent ?
The crescent is more than likely a moon but it could represent an eclipsed sun , which doesn't help .
