Yeah, absolutely. But what I think is really interesting is that even alongside the development of mathematical astronomy, the development of the zodiac, which leads to completely new ways of thinking about other stuff too, not just the sky.

The position of planets within the zodiac was then connected with certain dates, and just like we do astrology today, it's just a different way of organizing information that makes it a little bit more bounded and a little bit easier to follow. There's an excellent scholar named Dr. Willis Munro who's written about how knowledge becomes bounded in the late 1st millennium BCE.

So alongside all that, omens are still important. And the people doing the astronomy are still calling themselves, which means the scribes of Enuma Anu Enla, the scribes of this textbook. So even in the later periods where maybe it dwindles in importance, there's still that prestige attached to it. omen-taking or a connection with that distant past maybe is another way to account for it.

That's a great question too. So I think typically math was used for practical things to calculate the area of a field and then the yield that that field might have and therefore how much money you might be able to make from it, that sort of thing, or whatever math you needed to do to calculate how many bricks you needed to build something.
