I remembered that about 3 months ago i watched Zeitgeist, a movie based around concealing the truths of iconic myths. There's a chapter within this movie that explores the historic importance of the cross and how its influenced the world we live in today. This just proves how iconic this symbol is and i believe it will be a very powerful devise within my photo essay.
P2, S1- "This is the cross of the Zodiac, one of the oldest conceptual images in human history."
The "cross" that Zeitgeist refers to is also known as a "Crux" or "Southern Cross" constellation. The earliest known Zodiac record dates back to 5th century BC but the "cross" of the Zodiac, "Crux" or "Southern Cross" constellations where not named until the 16th century BC. That dates the "cross" of Zodiac way past the life and death of Christ and therefore has nothing to do with his life.
