That's quite funny; a bit of retcon with the Greek constellations combined with an ignorance of the different constellations imagined by Chinese astronomers.
theyre not greek, rather theyre ME (e.g. Egyptian)
Mesopotamian actually. The earliest Egyptian astronomical texts that have been found don't concern themselves with constellations at all, but rather with the heliacal rising of 36 individual stars that marked the start of their ten day decans. The Greeks then later borrowed the constellations from the Babylonians largely intact, and it wasn't until the days of the Ptolemies that the Egyptians made use of the constellations.
Interestingly enough, the earliest cuneiform texts found that mention constellations include 18 zodiac signs. Some of the difference is due to constellations that today are considered near but not on the Zodiac (Orion, Perseus, Auriga, Andromeda). Others are considered part of other constellations. The Pleiades, which started off the oldest known Mesopotamian zodiac, is part of Taurus now, and The Swallow is split between the constellations Pisces and Pegasus. Of the remaining 12 most have similar meanings, but a few do not, most prominently Virgo. We don't have any evidence for a 12 sign Zodiac being in use earlier than around 700 BC, though that isn't to say they might not have been in use earlier as absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence. What we do have evidence for is that the idea of 12 immutable Zodiac constellations known since earliest days is pure bunk.
Bullinger did well with what he had available to him, but a century of additional archaeological work have rendered his theorizing about the stars obsolete.
