Enuma Anu Enlil (π’Œ“π’€­π’ˆΎπ’€­π’‚—π’†€π’‡² U4 AN.na dEN.LÍL.lΓ‘, lit. When [the gods] Anu and Enlil [...]), abbreviated EAE, is a major series of 68 or 70 tablets (depending on the recension) dealing with Babylonian astrology. The bulk of the work is a substantial collection of omens, estimated to number between 6500 and 7000, which interpret a wide variety of celestial and atmospheric phenomena in terms relevant to the king and state.
