Yes. And would it suprise you if I were to tell you in those same Sumerian/Babylonian creation myths that they have the number of planets at 12? They however counted the sun and our moon in those numbers, so subtract those and you get 10.

They also somehow knew that the planets past mars, the gas planets, were different than the plants this side of the asteroid belt. How?

Pretty mind boggling if you ask me.
