Babylonian clay tablet, 6th century BC This Babylonian map of the World dates back to 6 century BC. In ancient Assyrian and Babylonian sources the kingdom of Ararat is referred to as Urartu. This name is mentioned on the world’s oldest map. Of the countries mentioned in this map, only Armenia still exists. All the other ones have disappeared from the world map. According to cartographer Rouben Galichian, the map shows the world in the form of a circle, surrounded by “bitter” waters, in which there are 7 islands. In the center of the map is Babylon, next to it Armenia and Assyria are depicted. Another 7 cities are depicted in a form of small circles. From the mountains of Armenia, the Euphrates River flows through Babylon and Marshes, and reaches the Persian Gulf. On the back of the tile there is a text that describes seven islands in the sea and unusual creatures living there. The islands are depicted in a form of triangles, most of which are damaged and illegible. #babylon #stars #seven #7 #astrologija #astrologer #astrolog_milosmusicki #astrology #asabovesobelow #zodiac #horoscope #horoskop #zodijak #sky #2020 #serbia #srbija #beograd #belgrade (at Belgrade, Serbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBLUVLQpC-s/?igshid=1lw1zmnn0168i
