When is the belt of Orion slanted from right to left, going up? (Egypt) I am trying to match up a detail of the Senemut ceiling to the time of the year it might involve. In the detail (shown below), the belt of Orion is slanted upwards from right to left:



Notice that the Orion Nebula is to the right. When I try to duplicate this in Stellarium, I can only get the belt to slant left to right, going up as shown below:



Is there some particular time of the year when the belt of Orion is visible from Egypt (Banî Suwayf) and slants upward going right to left, as in the Egyptian ceiling?

One answer below suggested that Orion's belt is like this when it rises, but I cannot duplicate it:



In Stellarium, I found by experimentation that Orion seems to rise on the morning of July 18th at the latitude in question and date range in question. However, as can be seen in the screen shot the belt still goes left to right.
EDIT: entirely new answer based on comments

You may actually be on to something here. 

The most obvious (and thus least interesting) answer is that they were 
depicting Orion shortly after sunset, not shortly before sunrise (all 
times UTC): 

   

Here is the helical rising of Orion today, and it does indeed go right 
to left: 



If we go back 1000 years, it's much closer to being a straight line: 



And if we go back to 1473 BCE (which is -1472), the rising is clearly 
left to right: 

 

Interestingly, if we go far enough south, the rising is right to left 
even in -1472: 

 

Note that position in which Orion rises doesn't change much from day 
to day. In other words, the position of Orion's stars at helical 
rising are the same as the position of Orion's stars at rising any 
other day of the year. Because of precession, the position does 
change over long periods of time, but not day to day. 

The only problem with the "most obvious" answer above is that we know 
the Egyptians were very interested in helical risings, so it would be 
odd to see a depiction of a "helical setting".
