Debate Over 3000-Year-Old Italian Carvings: Star Map or History-Changing Map?

Researchers have discovered a 3,000-year-old stone disk near an ancient hill fort in northeastern Italy, which they believe may be an ancient celestial map marking the brightest stars in the night sky. However, astronomer Ed Krupp disagrees, stating that the relationship between the carved markings on the stone and the brightest stars may be accidental. The study's authors argue that the markings accurately correspond to the positions of bright stars, but one mark corresponds to no known star, leading to speculation that it may represent a supernova.
