Yes, one of my favorite things to talk about. So I've alluded to this kind of ideal way of doing math and sandwiched in that enuma, anu, enlil. There were those lunar tables that offer us incorrect ways of modeling the universe mathematically, essentially. One of the incorrect but ideal ways that they modeled time was using a schematic calendar, which

which was actually a very practical way to measure time. So the calendar in Mesopotamia was 12 months of 30 days each. There's also a cultic calendar, which every single month they wait for the new moon, and then they announce the start of the next month, etc. But

In order for things to be possible to do, like paying interest and knowing when things are due, you have to have a fake calendar, basically. And that was 12 months of 30 days each. And that formed part of something that we call schematic astronomy, which all these other kind of slightly incorrect modeling of the universe fall into as well.

And there's evidence that then around 500 BCE, just after 500 BCE, they projected that calendar onto the sky, onto the ecliptic. So the band of the sky where eclipses occur and where the planets are moving and where the Sun is moving throughout the year as well. They divided the sky into 12 months of 30 days each, so 12 sections of 30 degrees each, and that becomes the zodiac.

And in really early descriptions of the zodiac, those 12 sections of the sky that are named back then as well after constellations, are initially referred to by the names of the months of the calendar. So, this is a really interesting kind of theoretical exercise that ends up with this spatial expression. And eventually, that becomes the zodiac that we know today.

That is the goatfish, so Capricorn, which I only recently learned was actually a goatfish as well in later years.

Yeah, because it's a goat with like a mermaid tail. Yes. The scorpions, Scorpius, Leo, Gemini, the twins, etc. So they named each of these 12 sections after the main constellation within it. And that is where we get the zodiac from.
