Register or Login to view.The fact that it has legs is IRRELEVANT to a conversation about which zodiacs have the largest number of figures that match the VMS. The Beit Alpha mosaics do not pass this test. Plus, it has been covered over for centuries and has only recently been re-discovered. Secondly, I did COMBINATION searches on groups of thematic patterns, which is FAR more important than picking out a single example.
You didn't even pick a good example. The Beit Alpha Sagittarius does NOT have a long-tailed cap, does NOT have wide sleeves, does NOT have pleats, does NOT have bootlaces, and does NOT have a crossbow.
You are a cherry-picker. You CANNOT do good research by picking ONLY the one that suits your purposes (one that isn't even very similar) and ignore the rest. That is what you are doing.
That's not research. That's simply pleasing yourself and reaffirming your own assumptions.
What is important here is that a move away from the Centaur (a mythological creature that, unlike other zodiac signs, represents nothing real in the real world) has already occurred in the sixth century, so it could have easily occurred again in the 13th century. It did not have to wait until the 15th century to reappear.
It seems that this discussion has suddenly degenerated from lively debate to ad hominem attacks, so it is time for me to take a break. It is now up to the Russians (who, according to Alexa.com, visit voynich.ninja in large numbers) to decode the VMS and tell us when and where it originated.
