  • The Astronomical Diaries represent the longest-running data collection effort in history, spanning approximately 800 years.
  • Babylonian scholars recorded data on astronomy (planet positions, eclipses), economics, meteorology, and more.
  • The Computable Babylonian Diaries Project aims to create computable editions of these diaries for modern computational analysis.
  • These editions provide insights into Babylonian science and valuable data for fields like economics and paleoclimatology.
  • Additional information and early examples are available on the linked pages.
