Babylonian Record Science

Babylonian Record Science explores how the Babylonians, without modern computing, used meticulous record-keeping on cuneiform tablets to manage their society and foster administrative and scientific continuity. The book reveals how these records, spanning areas like astronomy, agriculture, and economics, were integral to Babylonian society. Intriguingly, their base-60 number system influenced later mathematical developments, and their astronomical observations laid a foundation for future scientific advancements.

The book argues that Babylonian record-keeping wasn't just about bookkeeping, but served as a dynamic tool for analysis and knowledge transmission. It examines their systematic observation of celestial events, their detailed management of land and crops, and their tracking of trade and taxes. By integrating archaeological evidence with historical and scientific analysis, the book offers a holistic view of how these practices underpinned their societal achievements.

The book progresses by first exploring the historical and cultural context of Babylonia and the development of cuneiform writing. It then analyzes astronomical, agricultural, and economic records, culminating in a synthesis that demonstrates the interconnectedness of Babylonian administration and science. This approach makes the book valuable for anyone interested in ancient history, archaeology, or the history of science.
