Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Dear Sreenadh, dear all, Thank you for suggesting our friends, members of this group my websites. This is one of the reasons i am so much decided to learn Jyotish, because Astrology's mysteries were revealed by God(s) to us Humans to help us, for our wealth, to cure ourselves. I think beside Jyotish , western and Arabian astrology which might have common things, there is also Chinesse, Mayan astrology and the most hided and unexplored Egyptian Astrology. It is well known ancient Egyptians were good in mathematics,and other sciences. Because i am a curios person and the same time an explorer i think i will make some resources on this branch, Egyptian Astrology. If anyone from this group has anything to share, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Dear Liana ji, We are definitely interested in the good resources on Hellenistic (Babylonian/Assyrian/Greek)/Egyptian/Mayan/Chineese/Arabian astrology. It would be really interesting to compare and contrast their methods against the knowledge shared by Ancient Indian Astrology. Numerous links present in the Links section of the group related to the Hellenistic (Babylonian/Assyrian/Greek)/Egyptian/Mayan/Chineese/Arabian astrology might interest you - I hope. The Link: /links/Ancient_Greek_Astrology_001195125563/ Regards,Sreenadh--- In , "blulisan" <blulisan wrote:>> Dear Sreenadh, dear all,> > Thank you for suggesting our friends, members of this group my> websites.
