(ZEG TV) Sumerian Clay Tablets Hold The Most Important Evidence on Earth
This is a re-creation of a Sumerian star map or "planisphere" recovered from the 650 BCE underground library of Ashurbanipal in Nineveh, Iraq (Mesopotamia) in the late 19th century.
Long thought to be an Assyrian tablet, computer analysis has matched it with the sky above Mesopotamia in 3300 BCE and proves it to be of much more ancient Sumerian origin.
The tablet is an "Astrolabe," the earliest known astronomical instrument. It usually consisted of a segmented disc-shaped star chart with marked units of angle measure inscribed on the rim.
Unfortunately, considerable parts of the planisphere are missing, approximately 40%, damage which dates to the sacking of Nineveh.
The reverse of the tablet is not inscribed. Some call this the "Sodom and Gomorrah Tablet" because it describes a comet or asteroid which some think destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah about 3300 BCE.
For more information see Alan Bond and Mark Hempsell's book about this tablet called "A Sumerian Observation of the Kofels' Impact Event."
