All these texts originally came from some archive in Babylon which was discovered by Arabs in the middle of the 19th century. Most of the texts were written from about 330 B.C. to the first century A.D. Many of the texts are fragments of the original clay tables which have broken. In many cases, a fragment contains only parts of a few legible lines. Much of the information is of an astronomical character. It is evident that for investigations of these tablets the possibility of rapid scanning of accurately dated planetary positions is of primary importance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bryant Tuckerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 087169056X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871690562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Philosophical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Bryant Tuckerman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48449030979839,"sku":"9780871690562","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e240f952-6f14-44b4-9b0e-fc3fb64334c1.jpg?v=1777261651","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/planetary-lunar-and-solar-positions-bryant-tuckerman-9780871690562","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
