THE ORIENTATION OF THE RING 

The orientation of the ring is a vital part of the pattern.  According
to mythology, the ring was aligned approximately 70 degrees from the
equator, apparently passing between the Ursa Major and Ursa Minor
constellations (the Big Bear and Little Bear).  Twelve cultural
regions out of seventeen include either or both constellations in
their mythologies, with two other cultural regions designating either
the northeast or northwest.  There is no reference to any other
constellation.  This is an unusual correlation, strongly identifying
the ring position in the sky, and verifying that it was viewed by many
people.  The seventeen cultures are organized as they appear in each
of the mythology chapters.
