The Enuma Anu Enlil

The Enuma Anu Enlil is an ancient Mesopotamian collection of cuneiform tablets that document celestial phenomena, such as planetary movements, eclipses, and weather signs. Compiled around 1000 BCE, it served as an astrological guide for priests and rulers, helping them interpret divine messages from the heavens. Organized into sections based on celestial bodies, the text reflects how ancient Mesopotamians sought to understand and predict natural and divine influences on their world, blending astronomy, religion, and governance in a comprehensive record of their cosmic knowledge.
