50 2 Ancient Egyptian Zodiacs
Figure 2.38: Details on the Napoleonic drawing of the Big
Esna zodiac near the constallation of Virgo and their corrections.
• Virgo on the Napoleonic drawings clearly touches the tail
of the lioness with a human head (see Figure 2.38). The
way it is shown here is missleading, because on some other
Egyptian zodiacs Virgo is touching Leo’s tail. But, the
lioness’ symbol is not related to Leo — it belongs to a
partial horoscope. The photographs of this fragment of
the zodiac revealed that these two symbols were clearly
apart.

Esna zodiac near the constallation of Leo and their corrections.
• Male figure holding a knive over his head, located in a horizontal
pozition over the constellation of Leo. In the other
hand of this figure one can see a mace on the Napoleonic
drawing and a bow and arrows on the photo (see Figure
2.39).
Figure 2.40: Details on the Napoleonic drawing of the Big
Esna zodiac near the constallations of Aries and Taurus and
their corrections.
• On the Napoleonic drawing, between Aries and Taurus,
there is shown a human figure (see Figure 2.40), while on
the photos there is nothing between these two constellations.
This fragment of the zodiac was hidden behind a
column inside the temple, which could explain the mistake
made by the Napoleonic artist.

Esna zodiac on the right from the constallations of Aquarius
and their corrections.
• On the Napoleonic drawing, there two sitting female figures
on the right from Pisces. These two figures look differently
on the photos and the second one is definitely a
male figure (see Figure ??).
• On the Napoleonic drawing, there is a sitting male figure
on the right from Aquarius. However, the photographs of
this fragment of the Big zodiac clearly indicate that this
figure should be female (see Figure 2.44).
• Male figure standing on the right from Pisces is shown on
the Napoleonic drawing without planetary walking stick,
which should be there (see Figure 2.45).
In summary, let us reiterate that in principle the
Napoleonic pictures are sufficiently precise for our purpose of
astronomical dating. Of course one should keep in mind that
these drawing are not originals but only copies which are excellent
but still not flawless. As we indicated, some small and
