He goes on to say "I love the pure, peaceful, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity. When Frederick was younger he remembers watching from a cupboard one of the wo ....

.... have confirmed the claim by unearthing Babylonian tablets recording observations of Mars and Venus from that time period. Ptolemy used a method of consulting lists of lunar phases, and planetary movements complied over many centuries to look for any similarities or regular patterns. The patterns that were discovered could then predict the next occurrence of such an event. Ptolemy eventually devised an ancient form of nautical almanac or "ephemeris". Mathematics could now not only be used to predict but to demonstrate whether a particular theory was correct or not. Ptolemy developed several theories of his own contrary to the beliefs of many other Greek astrol ....
