The earliest depiction that has been linked to the constellation of Orion is a prehistoric (Aurignacian) mammoth ivory carving found in a cave in the Ach valley in West Germany in 1979. Archaeologists have estimated it to have been fashioned approximately 32,000 to 38,000 years ago.[3][4][5] The distinctive pattern of Orion has been recognized in numerous cultures around the world, and many myths have been associated with it.
