Who was the first person to discover stars?

Answer 1

Many, many millennia ago, in the small village of Ooo, which is now part of a desert in northern Africa, the points of light in the night sky were referred to as 'the eyes of the spirits'; in their own language of course, something similar to dorr.

One year, no one can now remember which one, Ohoo, mate of elder Odoo, was not pleased that he had returned once again with no meat. She had the fire going and the stones all sharpened, ready to prepare a meal. She was getting pretty tired of eating mashed oot roots every day. When Odoo tried to explain how the herds had left the area and the hunters had walked very far and not seen any large animals, she reached over and grabbed her meat pounding club, and, well you know what she did with it. Odoo lay on the ground stunned for a minute then started to mumble 'dorrs', 'ddorrs'... Unfortunately, he didn't realize that Ohoo had knocked out a front tooth, so it sounded like sssdorss, sssdorss, the air whistling through the gap. Naturally, no one knew what he was saying. So, as Odoo was able to get to his feet, he picked up the meat pounder as he rose and gave a good whack to Ohoo's head. As she lay on the ground at his feet, he stood over her saying 'Sssdorss, sssdorss! Yooo got ssdorss?' Ohoo sat up holding her head and said whistling, 'Ooh, sssdorss.', even though her teeth were intact.

Well, the story was passed down the generations as it is most unusual for anyone to dare strike an elder. As it did, the pronunciation of sssdorss, evolved to sdors, and eventually to stors. And as the story passed down, the word like dorrs also evolved into stors until the succeeding generations thought that what Odoo said he saw was the same thing as seen in the night sky. It was long an important story in the village of Ooo because Odoo's descendants credited him with creating the stars. Until, eventually the desert covered the place that had been Ooo and the people migrated to many other places and learned more vowels, they eventually lost the story of Odoo, but everywhere they settled, they brought the word 'stors' (the pronunciation in other lands it eventually became stars) with them with special pride because they knew that their ancestor had discovered them.

Yes, Odoo of Ooo discovered the stars.
