En Hedu'Anna
Throughout human history En Hedu'Anna is the first woman who has dealt with science where there is a story (about 2354 BC) En Hedu'Anna was the daughter of Sargon the Great The city of Akkad (2335-2279 BC), from simple cupbearer to the king of Kish (Sumerian city) became Lord of the four kingdoms, creating an empire that stretched from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean, including Mesopotamia, Elam, Syria, Oman, Phoenicia, and part of Anatolia Hylas to the river and proclaimed himself a god, son of Inanna (Ishtar to the Babylonians). According to legend the En Hedu'Anna grandmother, a priestess of Inanna, gave birth in secret in the city of Sargon Azupiranu laid him in a wicker basket has entrusted to the waters of the Euphrates. The baby was found by Laipu, gardener of the royal palaces of Kish who reared him as a son at the court. The same type of story will be taken to Moses in the Old Testament is in the mythical stories of Romulus and Remus and the founding of Roma.Sargon I created an empire, ruled in a balanced way, respect the customs of local people, surrounded himself with men of great value, he managed to create a union between tradition and Sumerian Semitic culture, was a man of war but also a lover of modernity, culture and science in which his people were maestro.I Babylonians gave enormous importance to the observation and study of celestial bodies in the belief that movement of the stars it expresses the will of the gods and could understand the destiny of man. This research, which combined religion and astronomy took them to the highest astral knowledge of those times, astral maps constructed in which could recognize the signs of the zodiac, they calculated the phases of the moon, the lunar month, its orbit and studied the reasons for the eclipse, measured the motion of the planets, the movements of stars, the solar year, the day of twenty-four hours, ' hours of sixty minutes and sixty seconds per minute and determine the measures of length, weight and time were the basis of knowledge of other popoli.Essi examined the positions of the planets for centuries and noted that cyclically returned in the same place, they called these paths the "great cycles". They established the cycles of Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus, noting the steps in the vicinity of reference stars and zodiac signs, some called it the start and end dates dei moti retrogradi e le date delle opposizioni.Di En Hedu'Anna si sa, purtroppo, molto poco; alla corte del padre studiava i movimenti della Luna e delle stelle cercando di fissare, come tanti altri scienziati, quei parametri che in seguito permisero ai babilonesi di giungere a quelle conoscenze sofisticate che sono state l'impulso fondamentale per l'umanità .
