But in the later periods, I don't know if that changes outside of astronomy. And I think there are lots of other things going on as well in the later period. So cuneiform culture is starting to get more and more restricted and When the Greeks come in, in particular, you can see a real decrease in the number of people doing cuneiform.

Actually, this starts to happen even with the Persians from about 539 BCE. Instead of being attached to the royal court and having all this prestige, they get relegated to temples, which has become the main sites for cuneiform worship. or a scholarship being done in cuneiform in this way that's kind of established by thousands of years of tradition as well as the innovations that go along with it.

And then when the Greeks come, that gets even more restricted, and then after the Parthians, even more so. So, I think there is much more going on outside of cuneiform that we don't know about during these later periods because they weren't written on clay. I mean, Why did they stop using cuneiform? You know, historians, how are we supposed to know what they were doing?

And there are lots of references to writing boards and scrolls in the cuneiform text as well. So we know there's this whole other corpus that may well include some pretty cool math. But as far as I know, in terms of schools and what people were learning, math was, well, I guess in astronomy too, it's for practical things.

I think it gets transmitted. So it gets a new life, really. And there are little pockets of evidence for the transmission of Babylonian astronomical knowledge.

There's an Oxyrhynchus papyrus fragment from Egypt that has, I'm going to get this slightly wrong because it's been a while since I looked at it, but on one side it has the Saros cycle, which is developed in Mesopotamia, written out in Greek, and on the other side it's sort of spelled out in Akkadian. So there's a direct kind of

Like a translation of somebody sharing this knowledge in two different languages. And there are a host of other kind of threads like that that show how it goes from Babylonia into Greece and then beyond. And the zodiac in use today is the same zodiac that comes from Babylonia. The 60-minute hour comes from the units of measurement that they use today.
