The ancient Egyptians had knowledge of the twelve signs of the
Zodiac, However, the Egyptians did not invent the twelve classic signs. The signs were created by the Babylonians and the Egyptians learned the signs from the Greeks during the Ptolemiac period. The Egyptian zodiac recognized many of the same basic constellations, but they were imagined to be in different shapes than the ones common today. For an example, the "Big Dipper" was seen as the foreleg of an ox. These Zodiac signs were often painted on the ceilings of temples and chamber rooms for royalty. The Pharaohs obtained a different sign than the everyday person.
