Babylonians and Sumerians
contributed some of the most important discoveries and achievements.
Not only did Sumerians have a complicated law system (including juries)
medicine (including invasive procedures)
ships and navigation
but more remarkably, an amazingly advanced knowledge of astronomy.
Astronomy began with the first settlements of agricultural societies.
Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in what is today Iraq
was the birthplace of civilization almost 10,000 years ago.
It is in ancient Sumeria that we find the oldest records of the study of astronomy.
Babylon and Assyria were later civilizations in the same geographic area
and inherited the Sumerians' astronomical traditions
and many of their myths and legends surrounding the skies.

“......regards Mesopotamian influence on Graeco-Roman astral science,
Neugebauer's 1975 views have been falsified,
as a result of papyrus material from Egypt.
Neugebauer's 1975 view 1975 was, influence was minimal,
but he radically altered his view by late 80's.
So now Hellenistic Astral Science is a term
understood as: 'Babylonian Astral Science In The Hellenistic Period'
- albeit often written in Greek/other cursive scripts.
The discipline had been taken up by Hellenes,
making important contributions to its various manifestations,
but despite its being attributed to Yavanasm 'Ionians',
or Greeks by the Indians,
even in India the core of the discipline after c. C.E. 300 remained Mesopotamian.....” :smile:

I wonder if this device has any correlations with astrology. Are they [Drs. Carman, Prof. James Evan and etc] at least mentioned astrology being it's true purpose of this device? Or like forcasting weather?

If it's true then astrology is not something is something that is not underestimated by the ancient. It's sad that astrology is considered as a "joke" these day. And also this is the evidence that they are actually intelligence among human who existed at the time.

the device accurately predicted lunar and solar eclipses :smile:

the device gets its astronomy spot on
Drs Carman and Evans research only became possible
after the discovery by Tony Freeth and his colleagues that
the dial on the lower back of the device corresponded to the Saros cycle of eclipses :smile:

 Inexplicable Discoveries on the Seabed
Have Left The Greatest Scholars Baffled! :smile:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1TZcfDIwTU&feature=em-uploademail


There have been some incredible discoveries made by divers
from all over the world
but none as impressive than those found off Greek island.
Scholars and academics have studied one of the discoveries in particular
and claimed, it simply should not have existed. :smile:
What was this mysterious object
that clearly revealed a form of advanced mechanics
and what was it used for.
Some researchers have stated, it was the very first computer.
If that is the case, then where did the knowledge come from
in regards to it construction?

Secrets of the Antikythera Mechanism: Session 1
Recorded: May 13, 2015

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSh551cdIEY

In 1900
sponge divers
off the coast of the tiny Greek island of Antikythera
made an astonishing discovery :smile:
the wreck of an ancient Roman ship lay 200 feet beneath the water
its dazzling cargo spread out over the ocean floor.
Among the life-size statues and amphorae
was an encrusted piece of metal
which after nearly a century of investigation
is finally revealing its secrets.

Called the Antikythera Mechanism

study has shown
that this improbably preserved object
is actually an ancient Greek astronomical computer
of a technical sophistication
not seen until the clock making traditions of Medieval Europe
1,500 years after the Mechanism is believed to have been made
about 200 BC.

Recent advances in computer imaging
as well as painstaking scholarship
have finally elucidated nearly all details of the Mechanism.
we dive into the mysterious history of the Antikythera Mechanism
guided by several world experts:

important to note that most famous greek thinkers e.g Pythagoras etc.
were educated in ancient Egypt :)
so it's likely all of this derives from there.
