RE: Mysteries series part? who knows.
I appreciate your continued effort to illuminate minds. What greater thing is there right now when we humans hope to rise above our ignorance... well, at least a growing number of us do.
Perhaps one of the first observations humans made is that of the stars, constellations, planets and the moon. The celestial movements and patterns were very precisely and accurately measured. Consider the fantastically accurate observations of the heavens come from the ancient Middle American civilizations. And the Sumerians developed an entire system of astrology as long as 7,000 years ago...and most likely far earlier. Back then astrology and astronomy were seen as very complimentary.
Of course I've been surprised to discover that Plato and his compatriot philosophers came up with atomic theory. What? Yep, Einstein was standing upon their shoulders.
Anyway, I love investigating this sort of thing but have little time for it so I bow the knee and doff my hat to you and say, "Go get 'em. And keep us informed."
Another comment of the highest quality, it is worth writing these articles for that if for nothing else. The Sumerians is a topic have a lot of text books regards, and will do a series of posts on them alone, it will have to be a week long series at some point in time, due to the sheer number of amazing things they wrote, built and how they shaped and moulded the world around us, stick with me my friend, as we go deeper and further back in mystery and time. Have a superb week. Tips hat, offers a beer and gets back to writing.
