Historians credit the ancient Babylonian with developing the first zodiac in the 7th Century B.C., although individual constellations in the zodiac can be traced back to well before 1,000 B.C. Through history, many other cultures have adopted and sometimes modified the zodiac. The name "zodiac" means "circle of animals" from the ancient Greek.
