As a person who loves to study ancient Andean cultures, watching this helps me understand why they had dark cloud constellations rather than the constellations we're used to. Can you imagine picking the stars of Orion out of that? So the dark patches became their mythic constellations. Amazing stuff.

thats a fair assessment and quite an interesting point to think about. thanks k!
