Babylonian Planetary Theory and the Heliocentric Concept
In looking closely at the Babylonian calendar and planetary records this scholar attributes them with the first thoughts of heliocentricity. Of course, he's taking from Aristarchus of Samos and giving to Babylonians - and it is largely deductive reasoning - but the theory is compelling. I still have found nothing on Enoch's observation that stars rise and die by becoming lightening (supernova) - or that there is a prison house for the heavens without measure or content (singularity?)

I bought a copy of the Book of Enoch a couple years ago for its ties to Gen 6 - I am most interested in the nephilim etc and have looked into that subject quite a bit. I've never paid close attention to the astronomical from Enoch so this thread is fascinating. Now I have to backtrack to my placemarker post and catch up from there. :)
