We have also seen
that in the engraving of "Dos Sulif" (Fig. 4- Val Camonica
- Paspardo - Iron age - A. Fossati, L. Jaffe, M.Simões de Abreu
- Scolpito nel tempo - "Le orme dell'uomo", 1991, pag. 22)
near the "Rosa Camuna" is visible a figure that now we may
interpretate astronomically as the mark of Cassiopeia.
In fact the three "Rose di Sellero" have been recently recognized
astronomically oriented (G. Brunod, W. Ferreri, G. Ragazzi - La Rosa
di Sellero e la svastica - I Quaderni di Natura Nostra, N° 11, 2000).

POSTER SESSION The Generating-costellation of the Great Bear and Cassiopeia and the Myth of the Butterfly: a prehistoric cosmogony? Today we do communication of a prehistoric picture - 3.500 B.C. (Fig.1 - F.Maria Gambari - Pitture alla Rocca - catalogo della Mostra "Immagini della Preistoria - incisioni e pitture rupestri: nuovi messaggi dalle rocce delle Alpi Occidentali"- Boves, 1995, pag. 90) in Rocca Cavour (Fig. 2 - Northern Italy - Piedmont - Carta archeologica del Parco Regionale Rocca Cavour - M. Cinquetti) which probably represents a shaman-woman, surmounted by the constellation of Cassiopea and the Milky Way. We have found that during this year (software Guide 7.0-Fig. 2) this constellation was visible into the Milky Way at the summer's solstice midnight with azimuth 90°(Ruchab), at the autumn's equinox midnight with azimuth 270° (Caph), at the spring's equinox midnight of with altitude 0° (Caph).

Some observations made now in France (Central Massif) confirm our hypotheses (two megalithic places, astronomically oriented, are made by stones similar to the quadrilithon of the Caprione's promontory- Fig. 5).
