THE BIRTH OF THE ZODIAC - FROM MALVERN TO “MODERN” investigates the way that the
ancient British design influenced the contents of the Egyptian Denderah Zodiac and

explained in the episodes of the Twelve Labours of Heracles - a textual account of
astrological and graphic conversion - out with the old, in with the new.
