In "At the intersection of Myth and Science: Protoscience in ancient Mesopotamian Omens and the Hebrew Bible’s Primeval History," I use ancient Mesopotamian Omens and the Primeval History of the Hebrew Bible as examples of ancient protoscience. I show how the intellectual curiosity was mixed with understandings of the divine world.
