From the beginning of Aries to the end of Virgo is the northern half of the ecliptic. The other half from the beginning of Libra to the end of Pisces is the southern half of the ecliptic, both deviate equally from the equator.
The general understanding in ancient Hindu astronomy was that at the beginning of the present order of things, all the planets commenced their movement together at 0° of Aries; and all the planets return to the same position in the heavens, at certain fixed intervals, resulting in a universal conjunction.
The Saptarsi Calendar used in India had a cycle of 2,700 years; it is said that the Great Bear constellation stays for 100 years in each of the 27 “Nakshatras” which adds up to a cycle of 2,700 years.
The 2,700 year cycle was also referred to as a “Saptarsi Era” or a “Saptarsi Yuga”.
For them, the first point of Aries is constantly the ecliptic point on the horizon, and the Dreshkana as well as the Trimsamsa, the Navamsa and Dvadasamsa all belong to Mars. In the celestial Chakra the Rasis commencing from Aries and Asvinni are each formed by nine padas of Nakshatras.
Taken as a whole the pictorial evidence from entitlement stones shows that the ram and ram-headed staff were regarded as high ranking
symbols from approximately 1600 BCE (which is roughly the date that entitlement stones first appear in the archaeological record).
These early depictions certainly suggest that the ram had taken its place as the lead star of heaven by the middle of the 2nd millennium
The Ashvins in Hindu mythology, are two Vedic gods, divine twin horsemen in the Rigveda, sons of Saranyu, a goddess of the clouds and wife of Surya in his form as Vivasvant. They symbolize the shining of sunrise and sunset, appearing in the sky before the dawn in a golden chariot, bringing treasures to men and averting misfortune and sickness. They are represented as humans with head of a horse.
Ašvieniai are divine twins in the Lithuanian mythology, identical to Latvian Dieva deli and the Baltic counterparts of Vedic Ashvins. Both names derive from the same Proto-Indo-European root for the horse Old Lithuanian ašva and Sanskrit ashva mean "horse".

When one takes into account the traditions it can be readily appreciated how there were great expectations for when the transition point between Aires and Pisces was at the Spring equinox around the time of the Christian era particluarly if a full half cycle of the zodiac had been completed from the time when the story written in the Heavens began and in Christian tradition of course the sign of the Heavenly King did indeed produce such, yet the story continued into Pisces the tradition for which indicates that the fish Anunitum conceived an egg which rolled along down the river Euphrates to be incubated at the other fish or swallow or dove in Mespotamian tradition, which is were we stand at present in the overall scheme of things.
When, upon the hill of heaven and earth, An spawned the Anuna gods, since he neither spawned nor created grain with them, and since in the Land he neither fashioned the yarn of Uttu nor pegged out the loom for Uttu -- with no sheep appearing, there were no numerous lambs, and with no goats, there were no numerous kids, the sheep did not give birth to her twin lambs, and the goat did not give birth to her triplet kids --, the Anuna, the great gods, did not even know the names Ezina-Kusu or Sheep.
There was no small grain, grain from the mountains or grain from the holy habitations. There was no cloth to wear; Uttu had not been born -- no royal turban was worn; Lord Ninĝir-su, the precious lord, had not been born;
The people of those days did not know about eating bread. They did not know about wearing clothes; they went about with naked limbs in the Land. Like sheep they ate grass with their mouths and drank water from the ditches.
Dispute spoken between Sheep and Grain: Sheep is left behind and Grain comes forward -- praise be to Father Enki!

The division of the ecliptic into the zodiacal signs originates in Babylonian ("Chaldean") astronomy during the first half of the 1st millennium BC, likely during Median/"Neo-Babylonian" times (7th century BC).[6] The classical zodiac is a modification of the MUL.APIN catalogue, which was compiled around 1000 BC. Some of the constellations can be traced even further back, to Bronze Age (Old Babylonian) sources,

Wow!
So if we are given a timeline for a record of a timeline and this calendar is based on 2700 year cycles + 300 years transition and this being repeated as described and given a start date of 0 Aries says so many things. Particularly, if the possessed the knowledge of this grand calendar, how long must they've been observing to note such a completion? Fascinating.

Of course that's the general take on Dumuzi, what of it...?

So no one was observing at all, so as far as anyone knows, what Kantzveldt has posted here was made up long after the fact, as the age of Aries began sometime around 2000bce (experts differ), around 191,000 years after the emergence of Homo Sapiens, then any age of anything that predates human civilisation is completely erroneous

Oh well that's a relief, the thought of our ancient ancestors making observations would be life shattering for me. Dodged a bullet on that one!
