• RED for the zodiacal constellations;<br />
• BROWN for decans (if they are present);<br />
• YELLOW for planets in the main horoscope;<br />
• LIGHT-BLUE for the partial horoscopes and solstice<br />
and equinox symbols;<br />
• GREEN for supplementary figures and scenes.<br />
In the case when at the preliminary stage (before the computations)<br />
several variants were considered, we use multiple<br />
colors.<br />
We will conduct the dating <strong>of</strong> the Long Denderah zodiac<br />
following the steps described in section 6.7.<br />
Step 1. (See subsection 6.7.1.) Decoding <strong>of</strong> the main horoscope<br />
on the Long zodiac and compiling the color annotated<br />
zodiac.<br />
By using the comparative tables (see sections 5.1 and 5.4)<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Egyptian astronomical symbols, we found all the symbols<br />
<strong>of</strong> constellations and planets in the main horoscope on<br />
the Long zodiac. We indicated them on the color annotated<br />
zodiac (see Figure 7.12), to which (as well as Figure 7.11)<br />
we will refer implicitly throughout the remaining part <strong>of</strong> this<br />
section.<br />
7.3.1 Constellations Figures on the Long Zodiac<br />
The constellation symbols on Figure 7.12 are marked in red.<br />
All the constellations are standard and easy to identify. Our<br />
identification is the same as suggested by Egyptologists (see<br />
for example [10]), used by N.A. Morozov, and N.S. Kellin and<br />
D.V. Denisenko.<br />
7.3.2 Planets in the Main Horoscope on the<br />
Long Zodiac<br />
We marked in yellow all the planetary figures in the main<br />
horoscope, which consist <strong>of</strong> all figures equipped with the planetary<br />
walking sticks, except those situated on other symbols<br />
or simply with their walking sticks placed over other objects.<br />
We explained in Chapter 5 that such planetary symbols do<br />
not belong to the main horoscope (see section 5.6 about the<br />
pull-out symbols). In fact, they either refer to a partial horoscope<br />
(colored in light-blue) or are parts <strong>of</strong> a supplementary<br />
scene (colored in green). Let us list all such figures on the<br />
Long zodiac.<br />
(1) A girl with a planetary walking stick placed over the back<br />
<strong>of</strong> Capricorn.<br />
(2) A man with a falcon head and holding a planetary walking<br />
stick, who is standing on a goose. This figure is located<br />
in front <strong>of</strong> Aquarius close to the edge <strong>of</strong> the zodiac.<br />
(3) A man holding a planetary walking stick and placed on a<br />
boat. This figure is located close to Gemini.<br />
(4) A couple <strong>of</strong> females standing on a boat, one <strong>of</strong> them with<br />
a planetary stick. This symbol is located behind Gemini<br />
close to the edge <strong>of</strong> the zodiac. Notice that this walking<br />
