And discuss:
A) Using the Neugebauer readings, Lindberg, and examples from the Enuma Elish, and discuss briefly how Babylonian astronomy developed over its three periods.
B) Discuss why the Ancient Babylonians spent so much effort in tracking the movement of the stars and planets. In other words, what place did astronomy have in Babylonian society? Did is serve their religious, political, social needs? What does this tell us about the nature of 'science' in their society?
C) Also, can we trust Negebauer completely? Or is his portrayal of the Ancients limited in how he assesses their science--think about what Rochberg said.
