Description “The Babylonian celestial omens series, `Enuma Anu Enlil', is a group of tablets written in cuneiform that deals with astronomical events and their astrological interpretations. A special section of Enuma Anu Enlil that deals with human and solar eclipses is a most fruitful source for the determination of ancient chronology, assuming that the eclipses described are base on actual observations.”
