Excerpt From: Osho Hidden Mysteries, Chapter 1
"Astrology is perhaps the most ancient subject, and also in a way the most ignored. It is the most ancient because astrology has been in existence as far back as we have been able to investigate the history of mankind. Astrological inscriptions have been found on bone remnants from the Sumerian civilization that existed twenty-five centuries before Jesus. The bone remnants have astrological inscriptions and an outline of the moon’s orbit in the sky.

"But in India this science is even older. In the Rigveda, reference is made to a certain constellation of stars which could only have occurred ninety-five thousand years ago. Because of this, Lokmanya Tilak concluded that the Vedas must certainly be even more ancient: the constellation of the stars as the Vedas describe it could only have occurred at a certain moment ninety-five thousand years ago, so that particular vedic reference must be at least ninety-five thousand years old.

"The vedic reference could not have been added at a later period. Other, later, generations would not have been able to work out a constellation that had existed many years before. But now we have scientific methods which can be used to discover where the stars were at a particular moment in the distant past.

"The deepest laws of astrology were first discovered in India. In fact it was only because of astrology that mathematics was born: mathematics was needed to make astrological calculations. The digits used in arithmetic were invented in India; the numbers one to ten, which exist in all the world’s languages, are basically Indian in origin. This decimal system has been adopted throughout the world; it was born in India and slowly spread through the entire world."
