TOP: Horoscope of Prince Iskandar, grandson of Tamerlane, the Turkman Mongol conqueror. This horoscope shows the positions of the heavens at the moment of Iskandar’s birth on 25th April 1384. (From: The book of the birth of Iskandar, via the Wellcome Library, London)
BOTTOM: A replica of The Map of Time from Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits. (as Anna pointed out the other day).
Found Prince Iskandar’s horoscope through completely unrelated research (don’t ask). But it hit me upside the head. I know they’re not exactly the same. But come on, right? Right? Seriously. Right. (Buy your own here.)
