  Indeed but those constellations are likely older, Orion is a hunter in western astronomy because of the Greeks, the constlations differ greatly between different cultures, even in close proximity to each other in Scandinavia the Orion constellation is again focused on the belt and belt is called Frigg’s Distaff. One of the reasons for that is because of the latitude the constellations appear at different times at at a different prominence in the sky and even slight changes in perspective can have very large shift in preception especially in pristine skies. The belt is the common denominator because it’s so bright and distinct compared to the rest of the constellation. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Orion_3008_huge.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Orion_30...
