Astronomical Text ('Stobart Tablets') (71 AD - 77 AD) National Museums Liverpool, World Museum One of the four ‘Stobart Tablets’ with Demotic inscriptions on either side recording astronomical observations during the reigns of the Roman Emperors, Vespasian, Trajan and Hadrian between AD 71 – 133. Each tablet gives positions from year to year of the five planets in the ecliptic according to the following order: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury. The positions are indicated in the order: month (from 1 to 12 and epagomenae), day (from 1 to 30) and zodiacal sign. Such compilations of planetary tablets were used for the casting of horoscopes; the basis of computation is uncertain. They provided for any specific day the zodiacal sign within which each planet was located. This practice does not go back to Egyptian 𓂋𓐝𓎀𓀂𓀭𓏪 “rmṯ” thought of the Pharaonic period; it derives from the influence of Babylonian astrology in the Graeco-Roman world. 📸 @museumofliverpool - (https://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/artifact/astronomical-text-stobart-tablets) 𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬𓋹𓎬 @egyptologylessons 𓋹𓊽𓋴𓆖𓎛𓇳𓎛 © 𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁𓊁 #Ancientegypt #ägypten #egyptology #egypte #egitto #埃及 #مصر #egipto #이집트 #planets #horoscope #astronomy #astrology #demotic #liverpoolmuseum #liverpool (at Liverpool) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9mjRXOQpi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
