Vedic Origins of the Zodiac: The Hymns of Dirghatamas in the Rig Veda

"It is not surprising that India could have invented the zodiac and
circle of 360 degrees."

I enjoy reading many of David Frawley's philosophical and spiritual
discussions of the Vedas. Hopefully, the historical aspect and
archaeological aspects of Vedic history will achieve greater clarity as
scientific methods are applied to the records of each of those scientific
disciplines. It is difficult to cross-reference traditions to scientific
data. When such things occur in an objective manner is when IMO the greatest
advances occur in philosophy, historical understanding and archaeological
discoveries.

That being said, I'd love to see unbiased information, data, theories,
explorations and analyses on the India sub continent as I believe it to be
one of the cradles of early civilization and scientific discovery.
