Babylon Base 60: Ancient math was better than ours

Scientists have discovered the purpose of a 3,700-year-old Babylonian tablet. It is a trigonometric table, “so unfamiliar and advanced that in some respects it is superior even to modern trigonometry.” It also throws the origins of trigonometry into dispute.

Dr Mansfield and Dr. Wildberger make a great team

So the Pythagorean Theorem is much older as I suspected. Shouldn't be surprised since Pythagoras learned what he knew from the Egyptians AND it just keeps going further back.

Sacred number and geometry really is the key here.

It was Sumerians who invented base-60 not Babylonians, the Tribe wants to get credit for this one like Shekel which was the the weight measurement of beer in Sumer.

Secondo le mie pluridecennali ricerche, questi tipi di tavolette cuneiformi a contenuto matematico hanno in comune un unico e formidabile strumento algebrico-geometrico scoperto dai sumeri grazie all'invenzione del mattone da costruzione che ho coniato come: il Diagramma di argilla.

il Digramma di argilla era fatto di mattoni rettangolari da costruzione movimentabili e sovrapponibili avente alla base un modulo detto: modulo quadrato. Un gioco algebrico inventato dai sumeri e conosciuto da tutte le Civiltà potamiche e poi importato dai Greci.

il Plinton 322, nel caso in specie, era molto probabilmente il loro "teorema di Carnot dell'antichità " e che ritroviamo poi nelle proposizioni 12 e 13 nel Libro II degli Elementi di Euclide.

WTF happened to NJWildberger's channel? He had several videos breaking this down in very fine detail.

Tesla told us. 3-6-9... So this isn't correct, but its better..

Yeah, it’s called, the University of New South Wales. Great research. Couldn’t even get the university’s name correct.

And yall laugh at Terrence Howard when he brought this up. SMH
