Babylonian Astronomy. New Insights in an Ancient Science.
In the course of the first millennium BCE, Babylonian astronomers developed sophisticated methods for predicting planetary and lunar phenomena. Astronomical diaries and related texts contain the empirical data from which these methods were derived. This presentation presents new insights into the Babylonian methods and their cross-cultural transmission to other regions of the ancient world.
