Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
This tablet contains constellations and Sumerian cuneiform. For decades scientists have failed to decipher it. In 2008, two scientists, Alan Bond and Mark Hempsell from Bristol University finally cracked the code, by using a computer program reconstructing the night sky thousands of years ago. It's a night notebook of Sumerian astronomers and refers to the events in the sky before dawn on the 29th of June 3123 BC (Julian calendar).
A description of the experience
A Cuneiform clay tablet has been revealed to describe an asteroid impact which in 3123 BC hit Köfels, Austria, leaving in its wake a trail of destruction which may account for the biblical tale of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Planisphere clay tablet - inscribed around 700 BC - was unearthed in the remains of the library of the Assyrian royal palace at Nineveh. It's a copy of the night diary of a Sumerian astronomer containing drawings of constellations.
