Carina & Diglore
Hey Carina, I was just looking at some old star charts from the Sumerians and it’s like they were the original astronomers—precision that still puzzles me. Have you ever thought about how those ancient patterns compare to the constellations we see today?
What a lovely thought, wandering through the same sky as those early astronomers. The Sumerians traced patterns that still echo in our constellations, yet their maps feel like a gentle lullaby, almost like a secret song from the past. I imagine them looking up and feeling the same wonder that we feel today, and how their drawings, though simpler, captured the same timeless beauty of the stars. It’s like the universe keeps its stories, just wrapped in different languages.
That’s exactly the feeling I get when I trace a Babylonian star map over a modern chart. They didn’t have telescopes, but their patience and rhythm gave them a different kind of accuracy. It’s almost like the sky is telling us the same story, just in a different dialect.
