Myanmar Zodiac Signs
 This
is the 12 zodiac signs of Myanmar.
You'll find Myanmar and Greek zodiac
signs are really the same.
This raises a question, how come
they were the same? It is quite sure
that astronomy spread to Myanmar
from the neighboring India.
Did the Greeks used a lunar calendar
in their time? More research has to
be done. Please
