Yes. Again, the astrologers are the ones behind the stars and the moons. There is also mathematics and geometry present in the star images and then usually have extra maybe alchemical or astrological information. Maybe in some way associating to zodiac and planets/gods.
The Astrology of Ancient Sumer
Sumerian astrology tablets make up the first historical record of astrology. The Sumerians gave the world astrology. They are literally the oldest astrological documents. They named many of the constellations and defined the nature of numerous bodies in the solar system. The Sumerians taught the Babylonians astrology. Ptolemy and others then learned from the Babylonians. And we learned from them.
The history of astrology begins in ancient Sumer (present-day Iraq). (Garraty & Gay, eds.,The Columbia History of the World, Page 57). History itself begins there: This civilization dates back further than Egypt or China or India. Sumerian writings exist on clay tablets dating back to 3500 B.C. or earlier.’ (C. Leonard Wolley, The Sumerians, New York: W.W. Norton, 1965, Page 184)
Ashurbanipal (688-626 B.C.) was one of the last Assyrian emperors. He made a great contribution to history, to humanity, and to the study of astrology by rescuing the ancient Sumerian culture, which was by then almost two thousand years old, and it had mostly vanished. In one of his letters he instructed:
Seek out and bring to me the precious tablets for which there are not transcripts extant in Assyria. I have just now written to the temple overseer and the mayor of Borisippa [a city in Sumer] that you, Shadanu, are to keep the tablets in your storehouse, and that nobody shall refuse to hand over tablets to you.
If you hear of any tablet or ritualistic text that is suitable for the palace, seek it out, secure it and send it here. (C.W. Cram: Gods, Graves & Scholars, Page 309)
His servants obeyed these orders. The tablets were collected into a great library. It was lost when Nineveh was destroyed in 612 B.C. This entire library was rediscovered by British archaeologists in the 19th-century.
The Enuma Anu Enlil
Out of this library has come to us an astrological text called the Enuma Anu Enlil. It is the oldest astrological document in the world, one that even today makes fascinating reading (from Buccellati, ed., Biblioteca Masopotamiza: Enuma Anu Enlil, Volume 2, Fascicle 2. Undena Publications, 1981, Page 32). It might have been brought to the Hellenic world by Babylonian astrologers who came West. This could have been one of the texts of astrology that Ptolemy studied at Alexandria.
Perhaps the oldest astrologer in the world would be the author (s?) of the Enuma? Maybe this book has several authors? It is all speculation. In order to give you a taste, the following are some quotes from this most ancient of astrological texts:
If the Lion is black: the land will not be happy.
If the King is black: the director of the palace will die.
If the Ravens star is very red: the flax harvest will prosper.
If the Anzu bird’s front star is very red: if it is winter, there will be frost: if it is Summer, there will be heat.
Venus is seen in the West, she is male.
Venus is seen in the East, she is female.
If the Bull of Heaven’s stars are very bright: the offspring of cattle will thrive.
If the Field’s stars scintillate: high water [will come].
(from Buccellati, ed., Biblioteca Masopotamiza: Enuma Anu Enlil, Volume 2, Fascicle 2. Undena Publications, 1981, Pages 75-77)
DUSHANBE, TAJIKISTAN
Strong resemblance. Crassus was one of the Triumvirate with Caesar and Pompey. He died in the battle of Carrhae. His campaign into Parthia ended in disaster. The Parthians pinned down his entire force of many legions out in the open with non-stop missile cavalry. Running around in circles peppering them with arrows. Crassus is said to have been captured after the legions routed back to a mountain town. He was made to drink molten gold or silver as the legend goes like what happened in the Game of Thrones show. Julius Caesar had planned to go to Parthia but was assassinated. Marcus Antony also failed foolishly as he left his baggage train behind while he entered Parthian territory and then lost it to the Parthians. Right from the start he had to play a tactical retreat campaign out of those lands or lose all his army which some was loner from Cleopatra.
