Books are not a visual medium.

This means your big desire to describe the appearance of your main character is a mistake. You can describe them over time but that description is not critical to your reader aligning with your character.

These clay tablets from 700 B.C. contain the world’s oldest set of surviving scientific data.

They are called the MUL.APIN tablets and were created in the ancient civilisation of Babylon.

Let’s talk about the first stargazers who turned sky-watching into science. 👇

Interested in the History of Science?

I am going to start a series of threads giving a brief history of science from the beginning.

And where else to start but in Ancient Egypt... 🧵
