the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians similarly mentioned of this renegade planet


If you have it, supply a link or literary reference - as far as I know, from my extensive reading about Egypt, there is no mention. As for the Babylonians, the only reference is from Stichin’s made up translations (sic).

Please go online and look for yourself at the relevant passages - its the translation reference that scholars use, not crackpot insurance salesmen.

“its the translation reference that scholars use”

This purism and refusal to interpret metaphoric references is greatly retarding discovery.

Of course it would not be a literal word for word translation. It would be ignorant to even expect this from an ancient language and ancient topics.

Not even current languages can be directly translated word for word with perfect accuracy, too many variables such as unique words and English words they do not use in their language, let alone a single word that can have several different meanings depending on how it is used in the sentence structure with other words.
