引源文章《UNDERSTANDING PLANETS INANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA》
Writing was invented by Sumerians ca 3200 BC. Cuneiform1 tabletsof Sumerian period give us very interesting material but unfortu-nately no astronomical or astrological texts. Though some textshave been thought to originate from former periods, they have beenonly found in later copies, making dating extremely difficult.
Theoldest existing texts about stars, one astrological and one astro-nomical, both come from the Old Babylonian period.
Analysis ofreligious texts has led some scientists to suppose Semitic or evenWest-Semitic origin for the concept connecting stars and earthlyphenomena, because Akkadians (the term is hereby used to denotelinguistically close Semitic peoples – Babylonians, Assyrians andtheir predecessors) take a much more personal approach to godsthan Sumerians. On the other hand, the Akkadian use of Sumeriannames of constellations, stars, and planets weighs against this theory;however, such names could issue from the period when Semiteshad not yet accustomed enough to using the Sumerian-inventedcuneiform script for their own language, so Sumerian was used forwriting. It is possible that some sumerograms concerning stars havenever been pronounced in Sumerian, but only in Akkadian. Lateron, the symbols remained in use because of their shortness: e.g.the Sumerian name for the Scales is RIN2, which corresponds toAkkadian Zi-ba-nh-tu(m), so it can be written as a Sumerogramwith one sign instead of four signs for Akkadian. As another mat-ter, the interpretation of such different names can be difficult, butin this case it seems that in both languages, in the first place scaleswere meant, as Sumerian GIŠRIN2 and Akkadian girinnu both meanprimarily the most ordinary scales. An epithet of the Scales con-stellation, “Star of justice of Šama” (Reiner 1995: 4) can be consid-ered indirect proof – scales are a symbol of justice. Also in Greece,Virgo – which lies besides Scales – was connected to Dike, goddessof justice.
In any case, to talk about planet names, we have to startfrom the Babylonians, not Sumerians,
though we have to considerthe influence of Sumerian language and writing.The term Akkadian is used as a common name for the relatedSemitic languages Babylonian and Assyrian which can also be con-sidered dialects of the Akkadian language. As most contemporaryscientists consider the cuneiform script to have originally been usedfor Sumerian language, and the Sumerian language has no typo-logical relatives whatsoever (despite several claims by pseudo-sci-
敬告被《謊言編年史》矇蔽雙眼，又沒有識別能力的吧友們。
一個到底懂不懂楔形文字的老騙子，連基本的阿卡德語，蘇美語，分不分得清楚，都是一個值淂懷疑的事情。
如果分淂清楚，你會腦殘的將巴比倫時期出現的玩意，硬套到蘇美人頭上嗎？
元末寫的《西遊記》，難道還能不帶腦子的硬扯成夏朝寫出來的不成？
老騙子吹蘇美人天文學發達，然後什麽十二天體？確定？哪怕任一塊泥板都好，證據呢？
噢，巴比倫人的天文學，你跟我說是蘇美人的？腦子是這樣用的嗎？
