In King Ashurbanipal’s library at Nineveh, a clay fragment from the seventh century BCE records how to read signs on a sheep’s liver. The reader was not a street fortune-teller. He was trained to send an interpretation to the Assyrian king and state. Each sign had two parts: what had been seen and what it predicted for the king, the army, or a city. The British Museum also holds tablets recording Venus, eclipses, and omens connected to public affairs.
