Panbabylonism (also known as Panbabylonianism) was the school of thought that considered the cultures and religions of the
Middle East and civilization in general to be ultimately derived from Babylonian myths which in turn they viewed as being based on
Babylonian astronomy, often in hidden ways.[1]
Panbabylonist thought largely disappeared from legitimate scholarship after the death of one of its greatest proponents, Hugo Winckler.[2] The claims of the school were largely discredited by astronomical and chronological arguments of
Franz Xaver Kugler (a
Jesuit priest).[5]
