Fig. 9.1. The well scene in the cave of Lascaux in France’s Dordogne region. Located in the deepest part of the caves, the fresco dates from around 15,000 BCE and seems to show Cygnus as a bird on a pole and a bird-man falling into a trance. Image provided courtesy of Andrew Collins.

Cygnus was also very likely the inspiration behind the appearance of the Venus and Sorcerer fresco in France’s Chauvet Cave, where the woman’s legs and thighs might well signify an abstract representation of the region of the Milky Way known as the Dark Rift, which opens out in the Cygnus region. Throughout the ages this region of the sky, close to where the ecliptic, the path of the sun, crosses the Milky Way, has been viewed as the vulva and womb of a sky-goddess, or Cosmic Mother, who gives birth to the sun. Sometimes the Cygnus stars are even seen to be attached to the Earth via a kind of invisible umbilical cord, showing it as a nourisher of life.
