Decoding in progress by Japanese researcher, The Astronomical Diaries of 600 Years from Babylonia

Decoding of “The Astronomical Diaries from Babylonia (ADB)” is in progress by Dr.Yasuyuki Mitsuma, assistant professor, the researcher of Ancient Western Asian History at the University of Tsukuba. ADB was excavated in the ruins of Babylon in the ancient Mesopotamia (present Iraq) mainly in the late 19th century says by Dr.Mitsuma. He describes that the ADB is an excellent source of information of natural phenomena, including astronomical ones, in the pre-Christ era because it contains the record of highly continuous and systematic observations, spanning from BCE 652 to BCE 61. He stayed in London for about two years from 2011 and took approximately 80,000 photographs of undecoded tablets at the British Museum.

Of Exaltations, Tetrabiblos by Ptolemy

[日本語]

In this article, for Japanese readers, I explain the reasons behind Exaltation and Fall by sharing the seasonal figures, and the directions assigned to each zodiacal sign.
