"The wizards of early Europe wore hats of gold intricately embellished with astrological symbols that helped them to predict the movement of the sun and stars"

No, a hat of gold did not help them or anyone else predict the movement of the sun and stars but if they were alive today they'd still want you to believe it did.

Right... they tracked the position of the moon and stars over time... there is no indication they predicted anything or were aware of any relationships that people who came later discovered.

You can’t be this uninformed.

I’ll bet you still think Columbus was the first here and not the 500 ships from Wales that came here 750 years before, and sailed up the Mississippi River.
