By way of Liz, who designed it for them:

Feat of Clay is a summary of the efforts to correlate Babylonian astronomical observations in cuneiform tablets using software to backtrack the locations of planets to the time periods described. The tablets are remarkably accurate, obsessively so. These magi were sky geeks.

There’s an invitation to start using TheSky software, but I don’t see where. So let me toss in this link to Bisque, makers of TheSky.
