What did Mesopotamians not use to foretell the future?

Mesopotamians did not use modern scientific methods, such as statistical analysis or empirical research, to foretell the future. Instead, they relied on divination techniques, such as interpreting omens from animal entrails or celestial events. They also utilized Astrology based on the movements of celestial bodies, rather than any systematic scientific approach. Additionally, they did not have access to the advanced technologies and methodologies that characterize contemporary forecasting.
