The earliest notational record of celestial events is a 32,000 BC carved eagle bone depicting the cycles of the moon, found in the Dordogne Valley (France).
Excellent chapters on the contributions of astronomers all over the planet. Especially good with the Arabians, who have given us the nomenclature used by English speakers [67]. Most of the constellations are old Arabic inventions [64, 68], although ironically, much of the astrology, the astrolabe (invented by Greeks), and the astral mathmetics were suppressed by Mohammad [69].
