1. BABYLONIAN ASTROLOGY

- BABYLONIAN ASTROLOGY.
- 3 can compute almost everything in the BABYLONIAN CALENDAR, in BABYLONIAN ASTRONOMY and ASTROLOGY!.
- ) These can be printed out and the dates come both: Gregorian and Babylonian.
- Conversion between Gregorian and Babylonian date.
- You can input date and time directly in Babylonian Calendar!.
- The program computes the heliacal rising and phases of the planets according to the Babylonian theory A (to my knowledge) which I have found correct from my personal observations for the last 2 years.
- I made a special database with all cuneiform horoscopes given by Francesca Rochberg in her study 'Babylonian Horoscopes'. ...
- To compute the Babylonian Calendar for any place where it can be valid (latitudes less than 66). ...
- In short, the purpose of the program is to help everyone who wants to watch the sky the babylonian-way (with unaided eyes observing the heliacal phases and the beauty of the sunrise and the sunset) .
- - 1 babylonian day = 12 babylonian years .
- - 1 babylonian day = 1 babylonian year .
- - 1 babylonian day = 1 babylonian month .
- - 1 babylonian month = 1 babylonian year .
- Suppose with the key 1 babylonian day = 1 babylonian year you have Jupiter to asc on sep 12 2000, and with the key 1 babylonian day = 1 babylonian month: sep 15 2000, then the peak of influence will be around sep 15 2000. ...
- The dates of the program for the Babylonian Calendar and the heliacal phases of the planets agree extremely well with the dates from the cuneiform texts (-600 to 0 mainly checked out). ...

2. Old Babylonian mathematics
- it.stlawu.edu
- Old Babylonian mathematics.
- Most of the Mesopotamian mathematics we know comes from the Old Babylonian period, principally from the second half (say, roughly 1800-1600). At first, the archaeological evidence was such that Old Babylonian mathematics seemed to appear fully-formed out of nowhere, flourish briefly and then disappear again for a thousand years. ...
- We possess several hundred Old Babylonian mathematical tablets. ... Here, we give a brief overview of the different types of tablets and summarize what we can learn about the characteristics of Old Babylonian mathematics from them. ...
- The first striking fact we learn about Old Babylonian mathematicians is their penchant for making arithmetical tables. ... First, it was clear that the Old Babylonian used a simple positional notation system with a base of sixty. ... In this way, an Old Babylonian mathematician could represent any number using combinations of just two symbols. ...
- Instead of dividing by n, an Old Babylonian would multiply by its reciprocal. ... These are now called regular numbers, and a fair amount of effort in Babylonian school mathematics went into ensuring that a student only had to find reciprocals of regular numbers. ...
- The other major class of Old Babylonian mathematical tablets is the 'problem texts'. ... From the problems set, we can determine what were the major interests of Old Babylonian mathematicians. ...
- Some important characteristics of Old Babylonian mathematics stand out. ... Because of this emphasis on numeric computation, Old Babylonian mathematics has been called 'algebraic' as opposed to Greek 'geometric', but this is to give a somewhat misleading categorization. Old Babylonian mathematics was not based on the manipulation of symbols in formulas (what we think of as algebra), but rather on following procedures to obtain an answer (what we would call algorithms). ...
- Apart from a few procedure texts for finding things like square roots, most Old Babylonian problems are couched in a language of measurement of everyday objects and activities. ...

- Cuneiform Circle is a community of scholars engaged in the study of the Old Babylonian Akkadian. Our main goal is to create an Old Babylonian Text Corpus, an Old Babylonian Dictionary, and a List of Old Babylonian Cuneiform Signs.
- The Old Babylonian Text Corpus (OBTC) comprises a large text database of the Old Babylonian Akkadian Language (currently more than 71000 text lines, letters, documents, legal texts, royal inscriptions, omina, mathematical texts etc. ...
- The search engine in Old Babylonian Text Corpus is available for everybody but the search is restricted to the following texts: Codex Hammurapi and AbB 5. ...
- Our service includes unique searchable lists of Old Babylonian Signs Variants as appearing in the hand copies selected for the graphemic analysis.

- Babylonian Tiles - "Teknicolour Aftermath" .
- But this only paints a small picture of Bryna Golden's varied musical interests, a diversity that is reflected in Babylonian Tiles' intense brand of heavy rocking psychedelia that includes elements that will appeal to psych fans, spacerockers, and prog rockers alike. ...
- Babylonian Tiles is difficult to describe. ...
- If appearances are to be judged, then Babylonian Tiles is a Goth band, and apparently it's the Goth/Darkwave community that has embraced them up to this point. I'm not tuned into this scene but listening from a psych, space, and progrock perspective Babylonian Tiles has a great deal of crossover appeal. ...
- "Your Universe Is Creeping" is a good example of Babylonian Tiles' crossover appeal to the space/psych/prog crowed. ...

- (The Babylonian theory of Venus is different from that of the other planets, because Venus has a very short period of 8 synodic periods in 5 years less just 4 tithis. ...
- In principle, Swerdlow's treatment does not assume any previous acquaintance with Babylonian astronomy. ...
- As Swerdlow insists, Babylonian astronomy is (apart from arithmetic and geometry) the first of the natural sciences. ...
- I say this seriously, not as provocation, and further, I believe it is due precisely to the scientific and technical character of Babylonian astronomy that most historians and philosophers remain without comprehension of it, still preferring to dote upon childish fables and Delphic fragments of Pre-Socratics, requiring no knowledge of mathematics and less taxing to the intellect. ... ) The origin of rigorous, technical science was not Greek but Babylonian, not Indo-European but Semitic, something I believe no one who has read Kugler and Neugebauer with understanding can doubt, and, my God, those Scribes were smart" (BTP, pp. ...
