And to talk about, well, astronomy in particular, but it feels like it falls into ancient Mesopotamian science, which encompasses so many different fascinating fields. And I'm presuming astronomy is a large part of that.

Are they all interlinked in a way? Can sometimes medicine be interlinked with astronomy? And you mentioned how mathematics is linked with astronomy there. Do we see the blurring of the lines in many cases?

But that's also important to highlight straight away, isn't it, Moody, with Mesopotamian history covering thousands of years. With the story of astronomy, I'm guessing you also see what's so interesting, and with these other fields of science too, is an evolution in thinking over those hundreds and thousands of years.

Let's start at the beginning. The field of astronomy, does it begin in Mesopotamia?

That's amazing that you have that text though, surviving from like 5,000 years ago, mentioning Venus. But do we know then roughly for an origins point of written astronomy in Mesopotamia, of whereabouts in Mesopotamia, and which people are making these earliest observations?

Once again, I apologize because it's quite an overarching question because I know the term Mesopotamian, it can be differed into all those different cultures within, like as you said, the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and so on. But is there a regular theme in how they understood their world, especially when they're looking at the celestial world above them?

And so how does that information let people like yourselves understand more, let's say, about this earlier stage in written astronomy with what they thought about the stars and what they saw above and how it related to this idea of omens and messages from the gods almost, I guess?
