I think most of the ancients weren’t so good at it.I can see the belt, but I can never see Orion, no matter how many times someone tries to point it out to me.
Orion’s pretty easy if you picture the hunter standing with arms raised, and feet spread apart. A fighting stance, if you will. The Pleiades will stick in your eye once you’ve found them. After that you’ll always see them. See how many of the stars you can count.

If you want to find Orion’s Belt, you need to watch “Men in Black”…
