Mul.Apin is one of the most important CUNEIFORM texts for our understanding of early Mesopotamian astronomy. This text (called “Plough Star” from its incipit ) is preserved in copies from the seventh century BCE and later, but some of its contents were probably compiled in the fourteenth century BCE .
