From the article: And why is it in their many astronomical reports on clay tablets there is no mention of such a device? Maybe because It's kind small -- particularly as compared to the Pyramids -- and, as I seem to remember, they aren't mentioned in the Bible -- or anywhere in existing ancient Egyptian documents, either.

Sure. It ought to be noted that the Persian religion was intensively astronomical, although it was for astrological purposes. They had all kinds of astronomical instruments the better to measure the locations of the planets. They had dual capitals: Tehran and Kabul and their best observatory was in Afghanistan.
