چکیده
The Sakikkû (SA.GIG) series, a 40-tablet diagnostic handbook from ancient Mesopotamia (11th century BCE), represents a pivotal advancement in medical history. Compiled by scholar Esagil-kin-apli, it systematized symptom observation and prognosis. Organized into six groups, the text documented ~3,000 entries covering: environmental omens (Tablets 1–2); head-to-toe symptomatology (Tablets 3–14); and disease progression patterns (Tablets 15–25), including early contagion recognition. Later tablets detailed neurology (epilepsy), divine causation theories, and obstetrics (fetal development). While maintaining spiritual elements, Sakikkû prioritized empirical methods, anatomical precision, temporal tracking, and prognostic correlations, thereby establishing foundational diagnostic principles that influenced later medical traditions. This study was conducted to highlight the importance of sakikkû in Mesopotamian medicine.
