The Book of Fixed Stars (Arabic: كتاب صور الكواكب kitāb suwar al-kawākib, literally The Book of the Shapes of Stars) is an astronomical text written by Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) around 964. Following the Graeco-Arabic translation movement in the 9th century AD, the book was written in Arabic, the common language for scholars across the vast Islamic territories, although the author himself was Persian. It was an attempt to create a synthesis of the comprehensive star catalogue in Ptolemy's Almagest (books VII and VIII) with the indigenous Arabic astronomical traditions on the constellations (notably the Arabic constellation system of the Anwā'). The original manuscript no longer survives as an autograph, however, the Book of Stars has survived in later-made copies. This image from the book shows the constellation of Orion, in mirror image as if on a celestial globe, and is from a copy in the Bodleian Library dated to the 12th century AD.Ilustration credit: Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi

She says there's not a problem in the world that can't be solved with a dried floral arrangement. I worship her."

Amusement: Don't these two resemble each other? Sculpture of Ramesess II (the Great) and pornstar Jenny Hendrix (aka Hot Haley)? She resembles him more in some pictures than in others.

Somehow the mummy identified as Ramesess II doesn't resemble the sculpture, does he? True there is an age difference between the sculpture and the mummy, but still. One of the fine skills of the human brain is recognizing other people from their faces.
