@nobody a friend of mine frequently refers to this weblog, and I really relate: https://borretti.me/article/youre-not-going-anywhere
To reiterate, the only reason I stopped opening the birdsite or trying to bridge, is that Elon-ma broke the fucking authentication form for me and I don't have the motivation to deal with more JavaScript

The Celebration (and Experimentation and Observation) of the #KrononautMoon invites #TimeTravelers to show up or send a #signal to #Earth on the #TotalLunarEclipse (#TLE). Ancient #Babylonian texts may be accurate in some deadly #omen cases, but it's important to differentiate that there are three major classes of #Lunar #Eclipses, of which "total" is only one — occuring on an apparently eccentric (to us) schedule of approx once per year, next up on 14 Mar 2025.

An Australian mathematician cracked the code of a famous 3,700 year old Babylonian clay tablet revealing that they were doing more accurate trigonometry nearly 1,500 years before the Greeks.
In 2017, Australian mathematician Dr. Daniel Mansfield from the University of New South Wales decoded a 3,700-year-old #Babylonian clay tablet known as Plimpton 322. The tablet contains a series of numbers arranged in four columns and 15 rows. For a long time, the purpose of these numbers remained a mystery. -

...Tag des #babylonischenKalenders, an dem nicht gearbeitet werden sollte, da er auch mit Unheil in Verbindung gebracht wurde:
"#Babylonian...that a seven-day unit time is mentioned in #cuneiform inscriptions 👉 with the especially important seventh day.👈 [❗ Der 7. und nicht der 1. Tag❗ ] This was a day when working, making sacrifice, etc. was prohibited, i.c. according to #cuneiform inscriptions #Sapattu is interpreted as..

But before that, there was and is #Akitu, the #Assyrian and #Babylonian equinox celebration (which also seems to have a counterpart in #Sumer). Modern #Assyrians celebrate Akitu on 1 April to coïncide with the beginning of a Gregorian month, but in ancient times, it was on the day of the actual equinox. My understanding is that the civil year officially began on the day of the new moon close to the equinox, but I might be wrong about that.

The Babylonian (Mesopotamian) World Map (700-500 BC), a diagrammatic labeled depiction of the world, discovered in Sippar, southern Iraq. It was first published in 1899 AD. The map was written in cuneiform script on a clay tablet, of which only the major portions survive, measuring 12.2 x 8.2cm.
This tablet contains both a cuneiform inscription and a unique map of Mesopotamian world. Babylon is shown in the centre (rectangle in top of the circle)

Did you know that #teenagers could be annoying even 3800 yrs ago?
During the first #Babylonian #Empire, Iddin-Sin, a wealthy boy from south of Baghdad, was sent away to #study.
As today, he worried that his clothes were not as nice as those of his classmates, & so wrote a manipulative letter to his mum.
It would’ve taken her months to spin, weave, dye, & tailor new garments.
The letter ends with: “You, you do not really love me.”
The whole letter:

Babylonian square root
Compute √a like a #Babylonian....1) Make a guess x₀ > 0 for √a2) The average x₁ = ½ (x₀ +a/x₀) is closer to √a than either x₀ or a/x₀3) Iterating step 2 gives you a sequence x₁, x₂, x₃, ... that converges to √a .

YES!!! This is what I needed because I’ve been obsessing over how on earth four cups can be drunk (remember I’ve been reading about #demons in the #Babylonian #Talmud).
Thankfully @MiriamAnzovin explains.
There are other workarounds for other contexts I think, but this is the #Pesach one.

At Cambridge University, Dr. Martin Worthington, an expert in #Babylonian and #Assyrian grammar, has started recording readings of poems, myths and other texts in #Akkadian (lingua franca in ancient #NearEast), including The Epic of Gilgamesh. https://flip.it/2jk_Ex #History #Drama #Literature

#Palastine has belonged to many different empires long before the #Arabs were of any geopolitcal importance at all, e.g. to the #Egyptian #NewKingdom

...and this is precisely my point, there is no way to solve this issue with "historic claims".

"the first one started some 5,000 years ago when the unification of Upper and #LowerEgypt occurred and the Uruk Kingdom in modern Iraq collapsed.The second event, some 3,000 years ago, took place in the eastern Mediterranean and is associated with the fall of the #Ugarit Kingdom and famines in the #Babylonian and #Syrian Kingdoms."
Back then, there were not many people on the planet.
I think, green energy by itself will not solve our problems...

Some interesting #Cuneiform #Babylonian texts are being recovered from clay tablet fragments. I love trying to imagine how people saw life four thousand years ago.

You can see her as #Inanna, or as #Ishtar, or maybe as her sister in the underworld, #Ereshkigal. Inspired by the 'Queen of the Night', a #Babylonian relief from 1750 BCE, with elements from other spirits that have been conflated with the #Mesopotamian goddess, like #Lilith.
