I disagree. Just having a PHD in a subject does not mean that you will not have biases or put forth crack-pot ideas. Unfortunately, some states are trending toward the idea that only those who are “experts” in a field have the right to express an opinion in that field. Freedom of speech and of thought go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other.

Among the notable aspects of this debate is that the side with the more fantastical. less-well supported conclusions speaks with even greater certainty. They are all but contemptuous of "mainstream academics," and assure us that they have uncovered the truth that conventional scholars are hiding from us. Meanwhile, real scholars build their cases piece-by-piece, speaking with certainty when they are confident but acknowledging when they are unsure or are speculating.

[@carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526]

The star in the left at 3:24 is not the planet Venus? I saw that symbol in some history books being related to Inanna/Ishtar,the godess of love (and like Aphrodite to the planet Venus) Funny that the peoples of Mesopotamia started the tradition of linking gods to celestial bodies,it was than adapted to greeks,romans etc Sumero-Babylonian astrology (astronomy was not an independent field yet) is amazing but no way they knew more than the astronomers from renaissance times on.

[@faithlesshound5621]

Excellent explanation of this very confusing cylinder seal. I would only add that what you label as a star on images of kudduru is actually a planet Venus. As a third brightest heavenly body after the Sun and the Moon it took prominence in Akkadian and Babylonian art. Not that much on Sumerian as far as I know.

[@PaxofPI]

My first thought when looking at that seal is that the right 6 dots looks a bit like the constellation big dipper and the five on the left look a bit like cassiopeia which could make the middle one polaris. Not saying that is what they represent but in comparison to the ”those are planets” claims its a much simpler interpretation not knowing the background info presented in this excellent video.

[@johannageisel5390]

Please tell me more about the tortoise that appears together with the sun, moon and star combination at 3:22 and 3:24.

[@JustSpectre]

Interesting question. It is depicted on kudduru - a boundary stone and interestingly enough it is depicted in similar style as symbols of deities. Unfortunately it cannot be connected with any particular deity as far as I know. Nevertheless there is an interesting Sumerian story about god Ninurta and a Turtle. Ninurta, who obtained tablets of destiny from Anzu bird was visiting Enki. Ninurta acted aggressively so Enki summoned a turtle that trapped Ninurta who begged Enki for mercy.

[@varyolla435]

Ever been to a desert. People today tend to live in proximity to habitation = and ours is a culture of "lights". So when we look into the night sky today what we see as far as distant stars etc. must compete with a lot of "background illumination" as we have cluttered our world with lights of all kinds. Yet people millennia ago lacked those lights while people tended to build in proximity to high ground when available as a measure of security. That is why coincidentally modern telescopes used by astronomers etc. are built on mountain tops away from cities etc. as = you can see more........ So however many planets they might be able to see with the naked eye the fact remains that the night skies for them were far more revealing than today in a world enveloped with a blanket of lights of all kinds. This would explain their fascination with astronomy so long ago. Remember the old Who song: _"I can see for miles and miles......"_

What figure is beside the mul/kakabu? It might be an indication on what constellation it is. My very unqualified instant guess would be the Pleiades, but the symbology and constellations were fairly different from the Greek ones, so I really have no idea, and the visible stars in the Pleiades are 6 (or with sharp eyes, some 7 or 8). That makes it more likely that it is another constellation, or just a stars beside a star guy.

It probably depicts a noteworthy and portentous astronomical event in the night sky, like a supernova or a comet. (See also the Bayeux tapestry.)

[@varyolla435]

Think about what you see........ It is not intended as an accurate to-scale rendering = it is an artistic depiction. So it's purpose was to be seen by others - likely on a temple wall = from a distance. It is not unlike you see in Egyptian iconography whereby things are being depicted either larger than life or with a size disparity to infer to the viewer superiority = such as Egyptian warriors appearing as greater than the defeated.

[@joshuajasper5984]

In both Sumerian and Mesopotamian art, a star represents divinity. I personally think it is a stylized art analogy that developed from the cuneiform writing. In cuneiform writing (both Sumerian and Akkadian), the star always is used as a divinity determinative. Writers added it just before they were writing the name of a god (including the name of a god inside someone's name, which is a really cool thing to see!). Determinitives in Akkadian don't get pronounced.

[@BurnBird1]

That's not quite true. The sign for star is comprised of three god/sky signs, but they are not used in the same way. MUL ≠ AN

I agree, judging or interpreting art out of context of the culture who produced it is kind of ignorant. Looking at pictures of Greek, Roman & Egyptian art as a child is what got me interested in ancient cultures. ( Anthropology/archaeology has been an interest of mine since I was very young & I love antiques & historical architecture) When I took art history in college we had to know the basics of the Egyptian pantheon ( my instructor loved Egypt & visited there often) only to have him speed run thru Greek/Roman architecture as we ran out of time towards the end of the term. I remember being a little annoyed at the time since Egyptian art did not really change that much compared to Greco-Roman art lol. Even highly realistic art from the high Renaissance was filled with symbolism & meaning.

[@Manbearpig4456]

The real ignorance is ignoring what the cultures actually say. Funny when the Sumerian’s tell us they gained their knowledge from a previous civilisation it’s viewed as fairy tale but when archaeology needs to defend itself they they believe what the Sumerian’s say.

[@varyolla435]

Great! So to add some context folks: 1 - look at a cloud and see "a face" in it. That of course illustrates a concept known as _"pareidolia"_ whereby our brains when confronted with something they can not make sense of will juxtapose "something familiar" onto an otherwise unrecognizable object so as to make sense of it. 2 - "something familiar" must of course come from somewhere = enter our memories - even tacit ones. So Neurobiology 101. Your brain is not unlike an internet browser with search-assist turned on. As we see with pareidolia it will automatically cycle through your memories seeking to find known objects/concepts it can plug into what is being thought about. Moral of the story: so why a solar system?? Answer: Hollywood. The entertainment genre is ubiquitous in our culture. From the time parents plop their kids down in front of a television to occupy them those children will over many years be bombarded with narratives centered upon the science fiction genre and UFOs and aliens or mythical civilizations and so on = and the "alternative" schtick understands this. So Stitchin or von Daniken et al understood perfectly well there were a lot of people fascinated by the who Ufology and mythical "advanced" civilizations nonsense thanks to the popular media of the time - the 50's & 60's were a time of loads of sci-fi movies thanks to the then new Atomic Age. These individuals coincidentally also had experience in = "marketing". They saw an opportunity to make money by = pandering to people's imaginations - something still going on today.

Ancients didn't need telescopes to see the planets as Jimmy suggested. When you get to know the night sky, you will quickly notice how some 'stars' are in different locations every night in contrast to the distant actual stars, and that they 'follow' the ecliptic path like the sun & moon. But unlike the sun, the moon and planets can 'travel' in a retrograde motion, reversing direction...though it's just an illusion from our perspective.

If it is a solar system, then they had a very poor idea of what the solar system looked like. The scale is way off is the most obvious thing. If that is the sun, then you wouldn’t be able to see the planets. 1) they would be able to smallnto render in stone, and 2) you would need a stone surface the size of the entire country to show the spacing They could argue that it is a figurative representation..::but if we are going to put meaning in the image then why can’t we say that it is some other figurative image of anything?
