with the planetary walking sticks or circles located inside the
zodiacal belt. The figures surrounding this circle are not elements
of the main horoscope. They belong to partial horoscopes.
However, among the figures with planetary walking
sticks inside the zodiacal belt, there are some which belong to
the partial horoscopes. In the most cases there is no problem
to recognize such figures, but there are two doubtful cases,
where we can not decide immediately to what kind of horoscope
it belongs. The first such symbols is a planetary figure
of a traveler standing above Capricorn. The second one
is a planetary figure standing above the Virgo’s spike. Since
both these symbols are placed closely above other objects,
which could possibly indicate a pull-out situation, so there is
a chance that they belong to partial horoscopes. If they were
standing on an object like a boat or snake, there wouldn’t be
any doubt that they belong to a partial horoscope. But the
situation with these two figures constitutes a case where the
both possibilities should be considered. At the end, we found
out that the figure standing over Capricorn belongs to the
main horoscope, while the second figure, above the Virgo’s
spike, belongs to a partial horoscope. Since in the first stage
of the dating we considered all the variants for these two figures,
we marked them with two colors: yellow — the color
of the main horoscope, and light-blue — the color of partial
horoscopes.
Let us list all the planetary figures in the main horoscope
on the Round zodiac.
(1) Saturn — a male figure with a planetary walking stick
and a crescent on his head. It is located between Virgo
and Libra. To find out why this figure was recognize
as Saturn, see subsection 5.4.2. This identification of
Saturn coincides with the identifications suggested by
N.A. Morozov 26 , N.S. Kellin and D.V. Denisenko 27 , T.N.
Fomenko 28 , and Egyptologists 29 .
Consequently, Saturn on the Round zodiac is either in
Libra or in Virgo, so the range of admissible positions of
Saturn is Libra and Virgo.
N.A. Morozov believed that Saturn on the Round zodiac
was located in Virgo, and the same opinion was also expressed
by N.S. Kellin and D.V. Denisenko, and T.N.
Fomenko. Therefore, we choose as its best point the middle
point of Virgo. Recall that the best points are only
used in the elimination process to determine the order
of the planets and the mean discrepancy from the best
points gives only a rough idea about the precision of a
solution and had no part in the elimination process (see
section 6.12).
(2) Jupiter — a man holding a planetary walking stick walking
in between Cancer and Gemini. In this identification
we agree again with N.A. Morozov, N.S. Kellin and D.V.
Denisenko, T.N. Fomenko, and Egyptologists. According
to the translation of the hieroglyphic inscription over the
head of this figure, which is given in [10], the figure is in-

deed Jupiter (see subsection 5.4.6). Consequently, Jupiter
on the Round zodiac is either in Cancer or in Gemini, so
the range of admissible positions of Jupiter is Cancer and
Gemini.
Following the idea of N.A. Morozov, who believed that
Jupiter was in Cancer, we choose as the best point for
Jupiter the middle of Cancer.
(3) Mars — a male figure with a planetary walking stick
standing over Capricorn. We recognized this symbol as
a representation of Mars, because of the hieroglyphic inscription
above its head, which indicates clearly the name
of Mars (see subsection 5.4.5). As we already mentioned,
there is some doubt related to this figure based on its
placement above Capricorn — a possibility that this arrangement
signalizes a pull-out situation. However, there
is no other admissible variant for Mars in the main horoscope
on the Round zodiac, so we do not have other choice
but only to consider this figure as Mars in the main horoscope.
It seems that due to the round shape of this zodiac
its authors avoided to use of other pull-out symbols except
the standard boats or snakes. Since all the figures
on this zodiac are placed either under or above other figures,
a confusion could result if some of them were used
as other kind of pull-out symbols. Still there are some exception
which we will discuss a little later. Again, there
is no disagreement in this identification of Mars on the
Round zodiac with other researchers, including N.A. Morozov,
N.S. Kellin and D.V. Denisenko, T.N. Fomenko,
and Egyptologists.
Consequently, Mars on the Round zodiac is shown in
Capricorn, so the range of its admissible positions is
Capricorn.
The best point for Mars is clearly the middle of Capricorn.
(4) Venus — a pair of female travelers with planetary walking
sticks (see subsection 5.4.6). The leading female figure has
a lioness head. They are located right under the symbol
of Aries, but the strings from Pisces also point to these females
in a way, which looks like they were holding them.
Therefore, from these indications we can conclude that
Venus was either in Aries or Pisces. This identification
of Venus is the same as it was proposed by N.A. Morozov,
N.S. Kellin and D.V. Denisenko, and T.N. Fomenko,
but it is different than suggested by H. Brugsch and commonly
used by Egyptologists. For more details we refer
to subsections 5.4.6 and 5.4.7. In the case of Venus, the
visibility attributes are very important. On the Round
zodiac such an attribute is a sign of star placed over the
head of a planetary figure. There is no such sign here,
what indicates that Venus was invisible. Using a series of
detailed photographs, we carefully checked and confirmed
the absence of this attribute.
In conclusion, Venus on the Round zodiac is shown either
in Aries or Pisces, so the range of its admissible positions
is Aries and Pisces.
