Star constellations as surface map - slightly OT

I just watched a program on arte (a joint French-German culture channel) where a geograph tried to make sense out of the real world stellar constellations by mapping them on the surface, with interesting traces of possible trade and sailing routes in the Old World and on the Atlantic. He "blamed" the Megalith culture for assembling our night sky in this haphazard way to map e.g. the eastern Mediterranean (Virgo) or the Eider (latin eridanus, with the constellation Eridanus a good map for the river).

Interesting theory (though hardly proven).

ObGlorantha:

Does the sky represent the god world (of the Dara Happans) or the Spirit World (of the Praxians)? Are these representations of the pre-collision Inner World?
