2 of 9: Today, the constellation you can see is Crater.
3 of 9: In the year 10,500 B. C., it would not be possible to see Crater from the same window.
4 of 9: Can you think of a way to figure out which constellation would've been outside the window back then?
5 of 9: Think back to the charts in the desk at Gil's camp.
6 of 9: See if you can correlate the constellations to those charts.
7 of 9: Find Crater on the present day chart, then look in the same spot on the chart from 10,500 B. C..
8 of 9: The constellation you see in that spot is the constellation that Horus would've seen.
9 of 9: The constellation is Orion. (If you haven't figured out yet, why this is important, don't worry about it. You'll know why this is important later.)
