Thousands of years ago Abraham gave prophecy using astrological signs. And by that Astrology was built by the vain imaginings of people.
What is the oldest astrology sign?
In early mythology. "Pisces" is the Latin word for "Fishes." It is one of the earliest zodiac signs on record, with the two fish appearing as far back as c. 2300 BC on an Egyptian coffin lid.
Abram ben Terah. 2150 BCE.
The discovery of the clay Elam tablets in Iran provided the third reference point to accurately date the life of Abram, confirming that he lived in the 2300 / 2200nd century BC,
Astrology originated in Babylon far back in antiquity, with the Babylonians developing their own form of horoscopes around 2,400 years ago.
This date is not confirmed but is a approximation.
There is scattered evidence to suggest that the oldest known astrological references are copies of texts made particularly in Mesopotamia (Sumer, Akkad, Assyria and Babylonia). Two, from the Venus tablet of Ammisaduqa (compiled in Babylon round 1700 BC) are reported to have been made during the reign of king Sargon of Akkad 2334-2279 BC. Another, showing an early use of electional astrology, is ascribed to the reign of the Sumerian ruler Gudea of Lagash. 2144 - 2124 BC. This describes how the gods revealed to him in a dream the constellations that would be most favourable for the planned construction of a temple. However, controversy attends the question of whether they were genuinely recorded at the time or merely ascribed to ancient rulers by posterity. The oldest undisputed evidence of the use of astrology as an integrated system of knowledge is therefore attributed to the records that emerge from the first dynasty of Mesopotamia 1950-1651 BC.
