Cosmogonies And Astro-Theology Of The Babylonians is a book written by A.H. Sayce that explores the ancient Babylonian beliefs about the creation of the universe and the role of celestial bodies in their religious practices. The book delves into the Babylonian cosmogony, or the study of the origins of the universe, and how it was shaped by their religious beliefs. Additionally, it examines the Babylonian astro-theology, which is the study of how the Babylonians viewed the stars and planets as divine entities that influenced their lives. Sayce provides a detailed analysis of the Babylonian creation myth, Enuma Elish, and how it relates to other ancient Near Eastern creation stories. The book also explores the Babylonian zodiac, the significance of the planets, and the role of astronomy in their religious practices. Overall, Cosmogonies And Astro-Theology Of The Babylonians provides a fascinating insight into the ancient Babylonian worldview and the intersection of religion and science in their culture.THIS 180 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Lectures on the Origin and Growth of Religion as Illustrated by the Religion of the Ancient Babylonians, by A.
