What did students learn about the gods in ancient Babylon?

New research examining Babylonian clay tablets reveals that religion was woven into scribal education rather than taught as a separate subject. Young students copied long lists of divine names, studied hymns and myths, learned about temples and sacred cities, and explored ideas about how humans related to the divine.

In some cases, their school exercises even became votive offerings deposited in temples.

The surviving tablets offer a rare look at how religious knowledge was passed from one generation of Babylonian scribes to the next — and how traditions surrounding Marduk, Babylon, Ninurta and other gods could differ from one region to another.

The evidence also reveals that Babylonian education was not simply about learning how to write. It helped preserve religious traditions, moral teachings, professional knowledge and cultural identity for centuries.

🚀 Could Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus make the search for extraterrestrial life easier?

New research based on NASA’s Cassini observations suggests something fascinating: as water from Enceladus’ hidden ocean freezes and breaks apart inside the moon’s icy cracks, salts and organic materials can become separated and concentrated into individual ice grains.

That could give future spacecraft a better chance of detecting potential biosignatures if life exists beneath Enceladus’ ice.

And there’s more: a separate laboratory study found that an Earth microorganism capable of producing methane could continue growing under simulated Enceladus-like conditions.

Scientists have not discovered life on Enceladus — but these findings could help researchers understand where and how to look for evidence.

🌌 The search for life beyond Earth just gained another important clue.
