The disc shows the night sky with the Pleiades and served as a memory aid and leap rule for reconciling lunar and solar years, with horizon arcs tied to the solstices at the Mittelberg.
Where it stands
Most likelyIts tests partly supported it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.
What it predicts
- The seven-star group stands apart from the other stars in a way random scattering rarely produces.
- The arc angles match the solstice azimuth range at about 51° N.
What would rule it out
- A measured arc angle inconsistent with the solstitial range at that latitude, or star placements indistinguishable from random.
