The Accuracy of Babylonian Astronomy

But one thing we do not like, and it has become a pet peeve over the years is the modern twists attached to their motivations forContinue reading “The Accuracy of Babylonian Astronomy”

We have known about Ybar for quite some time but was not aware of the connection between these two lost cities. Right now, pending further research, we may putContinue reading “Iram or Ubar?”
