This image showcases ancient Mesopotamian scholars engaged in astronomical observations and calculations under a clear night sky. They use tools like clay tablets and early astrolabes, surrounded by the zodiac constellations they identified. The scene, set against the fertile lands between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, reflects their deep understanding of celestial bodies and their movements, including the development of a lunar calendar. Captured as if through a DSLR camera in a wide aspect ratio of 17:9, the image pays homage to the advanced astronomical knowledge of one of history’s earliest civilizations.
