About Professional Tour Guide
Hi, I'm Erica Meszaros, and I earned my PhD in the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity from Brown University in 2025. My research centers on Babylonian astronomy and knowledge circulation in the ancient world, using algorithms to interpret these fascinating cultures. I've interned at four NASA centers, fueling my passion for space. I read Akkadian, Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, and Latin and love exploring ancient "pre-scientific" mathematics and science. Sharing these insights is my greatest joy!

INCREDIBLE PRESENTATION !
WOW ! Erica’s Presentation: BABYLONIAN NIGHT SKY: As They Saw It was, in one word: INCREDIBLE ! Her intimate knowledge and outstanding verbal presentation skills combined with incredible visuals was SPELLBINDING and CAPTIVATING; even for a mere armchair astronomer.
Babylonian archers….who knew??
Erica’s tour on the Babylonian night sky (as they saw it then) was fascinating. First of all, (sidebar) she has a marvelous voice and her diction is beautiful. The tour was captivating. The tidbit about the archers and the Seven Sisters particularly stuck with me, although it was all first rate information. I’m still mulling it over 🙂
Excellent tour
