Constellations don't actually exist, (the stars in them exist, but ... with very few exceptions ... the only connection between the stars in any given constellation is that they happen to be in more or less the same direction from Earth, though they may be at vastly different distances from Earth, so constellations are really just arbitrary imaginary concepts) so they can't be "discovered".

The Orion Constellation has been depicted in drawings, paintings and carvings since prehistoric times, as far back as over 30,000 years ago and is mentioned in ancient cultures throughout the world.
