He examines a 1995 study on the Star of Bethlehem that draws on Chinese astronomical records, some of the most meticulous celestial observations in human history. The Chinese used distinct terms for different phenomena. A tailed comet was called Xui Xing, meaning broom star. The broom referred to the tail. Once again, across cultures separated by thousands of miles and entirely different symbolic systems, the same metaphor appears: the comet as a sweeping instrument. This is not coincidence. It reflects direct observation of a physical characteristic visible to the naked eye. When multiple independent civilizations use the same descriptive language, it strengthens the case that they were documenting real events, not mythologizing abstractions. The consistency of the imagery tells us something about the nature of what was seen and how it moved across the sky.
