RECAP 2025 – SECONDA PARTE
Many cultures have traditionally viewed eclipses as bad omens that brought famine, disease, and death in their umbral wake. Rulers of ancient civilizations went to great lengths trying to predict them and to perform counter-magic to mitigate the risk of being struck down by an ecliptic curse. During the neo-Assyrian empire (8th–7th century BC), the ritual of the šar pūhi, or “substitute king,” was a common practice for protecting the ruler from angry gods during both solar and lunar eclipses, which court astronomers of the period could calculate with some degree of accuracy. If all the various portents suggested that the coming eclipse presented a threat to the ruler, the real king was taken away, and another man, dressed up in royal clothes and appropriate regalia, was placed on the throne so that he would instead become the recipient of the unwelcome destiny awaiting the king. Then, when the period of danger following the eclipse—sometimes believed to last as long as a hundred days—was deemed to have passed, the real king was reinstated and the substitute king executed.
