And anyway, Ptolemy, who named the constellation Orion by culturally appropriating Greek mythology, lived in Alexandria, which is an infamous example of western genocide led by a Macedonian guy claiming to be Greek, followed by Roman oppression and occupation, against Egyptians (who were Black Africans) after said Macedonian dude (who was probably gay!) trampled all the rights of - wait for it - Afghanistan! Which became Muslim! So I don't know what your goal is bringing up Orion but lemme tell you sonny, this apologia of western oppression will not stand.
