Hello Larry, List,

I did the same thing with Starry Night. However, it may be that Wu Jiacai
is using different assumptions.

A couple of hours ago, I managed to get a scholarly article by him
entitled (not my translation) "The Rock Painting with the Big Dipper
Design Dated to Neolithic Age in Wengniute Banner,Inner Mongolia."

This article contains a figure showing the evolution of star positions of
the Dipper from 100,000 BP to 12000 AD.

You can view the figure entitled "BigDipperEvolution.jpg" at
