What makes me laugh about Draco is that Graham Hancock has found a 'perfect' representation of this constellation in the disposition of the temples at Angkor Wat;

the ancient Cambodians are supposed to have noticed this insignificant group of stars, and built their temples in the same pattern.

Really, this is so unlikely- the constellation wanders all over the place, and is just made up of all the left over stars not used in real patterns like Ursa Minor, Cygnus and Lyra.

Marvellously debunked by a notorious BBC Horizon programme a few years ago - the programme makers found an equally perfect depiction of Leo marked out by significant public buildings in New York city.
