    Not completely mysterious, but still largely so. The usual zodiacal constellations are listed, and the names therein have allegedly been decoded as resembling a Turkic language.

    That doesn’t mean it isn’t a hoax, only that someone with knowledge of a Turkic language helped create those pages in particular.
