Cuneiform Inscriptions

What is the origin of art and writing? The origin of ancient art and early written inscriptions may be connected with the stars, but a study was needed to find graphic evidence. The connection between star patterns and ancient art and inscriptions found on artifacts from the northern hemisphere might be found if a study was made using astronomical star chart software and photos and illustrations of ancient art and inscriptions. What was done? Hundreds of graphics were created to illustrate the concept, which was explained on a series of television shows, academic papers, and Archeoastronomy Animations. It was discovered that ancient art such as cave paintings and petroglyphs could be interpreted as an ancient artist's impression of the night sky using the images that fit well in a particular star pattern. It was discovered that early writing was actually a form of astronomical notation. It was discovered that over time a form of that astronomical notation became the alphabet. It was discovered that the Bible and most ancient documents were written in a style that could be called astral because it was based on star patterns. These findings mean that almost all ancient art and early inscriptions may be astral. Astral art or astral inscriptions can be placed over star maps for the epoch they were created and they should somehow fit depending on how you look at it. These decipherments are from my personal point of view. There was a way of thinking about graphic communications that may have escaped modern scholarship for the most part because of the linear way we write today does not attempt to place the signs and symbols over the stars as the ancients did. It appears that cave art, mobile art, and petroglyphs were based on ancient asterisms. Ancient writing attempted to portray what was above into stone or onto a clay tablet, wood block, leather, etc. So above, as below meant that astral inscriptions were in a way heavenly. The term ​ catasterism​ does not adequately describe inscribing or engraving the likeness of an asterism in the sky onto stone or clay, etc. What is known about astral observations, astral renditions in artifacts, and astral notation? Something, such as an ancient constellation or asterism, is understood to be a recognisable pattern of stars that can be mapped using astrocartography. The saying " It is written in the stars " does not specify which stars in particular " it " is written in. This common phrase is used to portray something as destined because of astral or astrological indications, but it may also imply any number of celestial phenomena in a vast assortment of celestial combinations and interpretations. What if the saying " It is written in the stars " originally meant that a particular inscription or artistic design was observable in the night sky in patterns of stars? Following this line of thought, these so-called " stars " may be assumed to be seen in the starry sky to form letters, lines of text, and inscriptions. The classical Greek and Roman constellations are still seen as pictures in the stars and the signs of the zodiac are seen over the stars of the zodiac. The hypothesis of this concept is that almost all ancient art, engravings, and inscriptions are based on the patterns of naked eye stars in the northern circumpolar region and suggests that they could have in some ways been used as primitive star maps to tell time of night and time of year as well as latitude on Earth. Some ancient art may have a practical astronomical use. The names of the Astral Art Exhibits exhibits are listed in sections. Sections are organized by date. A graphic inscription that was created near the date of 33600 B.C.E. would be found in the 33600 B.C.E. section. Exhibits include an abstract and internet link. The Astral Epigraphy exhibits are organized by sections including papers, television shows, and Archeoastronomy Animations that are listed in chronological order based on publication date. Exhibits include an abstract and internet link to the paper or animation. The conclusions section describes some steps these studies may take. The Appendix includes sections about the grid system used to create the graphics, input, and metadata.
