"Surviving an Ancient Human Story: The Seven Sisters from 100,000 BCE"
Astronomers suggest that the story of the Seven Sisters and Orion, found in various ancient cultures, may date back to 100,000 BCE, making it possibly the oldest story on Earth. The similarity in these myths from cultures with little historical contact is intriguing. Research indicates that the myth may have originated when the Pleiades star cluster appeared as seven stars, with one now too close to another to be distinguished. This finding raises the possibility that ancient human stories could have been shared around campfires in Africa thousands of years ago.
