A Well-Oiled Future: Recreating Old Babylonian Oil Divination
Post Hole. 2014. Vol. 36. P. 24–28.
This paper looks at arguably the most ancient documented form of fortune-telling: Old Babylonian oil divination. The principle aim is to raise awareness of a much under-studied element in the ancient Mesopotamian textual record, giving some suggestions regarding its social function along the way. Additionally, the investigation provides a short case study demonstrating how practical work can be used to provide an insight into a psychological framework which neither archaeology, nor textual records, can adequately reveal. This in turn has important applications for outreach activities, designed to raise wider awareness of the ancient world among the modern public, as the reconstructive methodologies in question can extend their appeal far beyond conventional academic circles.

The crucial position divination held in Mesopotamian religion and society, as well as beyond the Babylonian and Assyrian heartlands, has long been acknowledged and has justly received scholarly attention since the early days of Assyriology. Much progress has been made in the contextual study of divinatory theory and practice, although mainly focusing on extispicy and ...

Bogdanov"s rationalistic socialism and the “socialist religion” of A. Lunacharsky and M. Gorky, for which the neuropsychological approach was ...

The author analyzes the ritual status of the Seleucid kings in the Babylonians' view and reveals a paradoxical picture: the Babylonians categorically did not deify the self-deified Seleucid kings in their own Babylonian terms and texts, but took into account, accepted and even offered the deification of the Seleucids in the concepts and terminology of the ...
