In ancient Sumer the Moon god, Nanna, was the patron deity for the city of Ur. In this article data are presented showing how the city of Ur was astronomically aligned to the Moon. Assessments are made using satellite imagery in combination with early maps and aerial photographs. Also shown is how the geographic location of Ur relative to Nippur may be related to the Moon’s 18.6-year nodal cycle. It is also shown how lunar calendric data are likely embedded in an ancient legend that tells of the Moon god’s journey from Ur to Nippur. Together these and other lines of evidence demonstrate how one of the world’s oldest cities was shaped through its entanglement with the gods – and in particular, the Moon god Nanna.

In the article referenced below and published earlier in Journal of Skyscape Archaeology 4(2), discussion was presented concerning the bas-relief at Angkor Wat known as the "Churning of the Ocean of Milk". The present paper clarifies certain points in the original discussion and provides additional details concerning the posited day-count between equinox and solstices as represented in the relief.

Regular celestial events assumed remarkable significance for the cultic rituals of the Hittite civilisation (c. 1600-1180 BC) in central Asia Minor. Numerous texts found at the capital Ḫattusa relate to solar deities and celestial divination reminiscent of Old Babylonian astronomical and astrological practices. Here we suggest that the rock sanctuary of Yazilikaya, which was considered one of the holiest places in the Hittite kingdom, had a calendrical function. It contains more than 90 rock-cut reliefs, dating to the second half of the thirteenth century BC, of deities, humans, animals and mythical figures. The reliefs in Chamber A are arranged in groups to mark the days, synodic months and solar years. Using this system, the Hittite priests were able to determine when additional months were required to keep lunar and solar years aligned. The astronomical and astrological interpretation of Yazilikaya serves as a point of departure for a brief re-examination of celestial aspects in Hittite religion. Open Access: CC BY
定期的天体事件对小亚细亚中部赫梯文明（约公元前1600年至公元前1180年）的宗教仪式具有显著意义。在首都发现了大量文本Ḫattusa与太阳神和天体占卜有关，让人想起古巴比伦的天文学和占星术。在这里，我们认为亚齐利卡亚的岩石避难所，被认为是赫梯王国最神圣的地方之一，具有日历功能。它包含90多幅岩石雕刻的浮雕，可追溯到公元前13世纪下半叶，描绘了神、人、动物和神话人物。A室的浮雕是成组排列的，以纪念日子、会合月和太阳年。使用这个系统，赫梯祭司能够确定何时需要额外的月份来保持月球年和太阳年的一致。Yazilikaya的天文学和占星术解释是对赫梯宗教中天体方面进行简短重新审视的出发点。开放访问：CC BY
