The science of archeology linked to astronomy.

A team of researchers, some independent, and one from the University of London have managed to decipher four tablets with prophecies from 4000 years ago from ancient Mesopotamia, the uniform tablets probably come from a city that flourished in what is now Iraq.

The tablets describe some lunar eclipses as omens of death or destruction of the city or the arrival of the plague, they had a scheme when making the prophecy, that is, for example, they had a recipe, if the eclipse darkens from its center and suddenly becomes clear means that a king will die, if it happens otherwise, then destruction of Lan, Lan was an area of ​​central Mesopotamia.

If an eclipse begins in the south and then clears it means the fall of Zartu and Akak, which were two regions of Mesopotamia also at that time and if an eclipse occurs during the vigil in the afternoon, it means pestilence that a plague or a disease will arrive and that will affect the population curiously, the Kings resorted to a second opinion to confirm these In other words, they were prudent and what they did was consult other seers to compare the reports of the prophecy, for example, the seers who read the entrails of animals.

All this may seem very curious but it is interesting, because first it gives us an idea of ​​the importance that the ancients gave to studying the movement of the stars and their relationship with the gods and the destiny of humans, this implies that if you wanted good prophecies You had to have the means to be able to dedicate yourself to observation and in this way the need arises that temples and important events had to be linked to astronomical events, that is, a temple could obviously be used to worship a certain God, but it could also be I used to build linked to a certain astronomical event or to be able to observe those astronomical events, one thing led to the other.

The prophecies were important to be prepared, but I would be more prepared if they had had the scientific method, but at that time it had not yet been developed and they trusted that, in the heavens, the stars were part of the world of the gods, it is curious, It is said that ancient observatories were created after the arrival of agriculture because farmers needed to know how to have a calendar to know when to harvest, but that doesn't really fit reality.

Farmers both past and present, if you go to a town to ask the farmers, for example, the elderly, above all they will tell you things like "they did pay attention, for example, to whether a certain bird arrived on a certain date, because it was good for harvesting such a thing” or “if a certain plant bloomed it meant that it was a good time for something else or if a certain tree began to lose leaves it meant that winter was coming, that is, they had a whole wisdom and they had a whole legacy of certain events.” natural events that could fit in with weather events that could be related to crops so they didn't really need to look at the stars,

If it were so important we would have to have Stonehenge or Neolithic astronomical centers everywhere and yet, there are few of them, which may also indicate to us that actually observing the stars was important but not so much for agriculture but for power for the kings. or to establish states or to establish relationships or for the most obvious, control of the masses.
