FEAT OF CLAY

29. More 9 Minutes

In the course of 2500 years, a clock tick tocks in excess of 1,300,000,000 minutes. Thus the mismatch in Line 16' of 9 minutes corresponds to an "error" of less than 1 in 10E8 (one part in 100 million) in the orbital position of the moon.

The result indicates Babylonian astronomers were fine observers, and modern astronomical computations are excellent.
