Almost looks like a Babylon Bee headline.

Just because something bares a name doesn’t mean that person”invented” it. The math was always there and when you first realize how elegant it is broken in to 3 4 5 it makes sense that it has been used in architecture since we first started stacking rocks. You can make an amazing amount of structure with some string, a rock, and a couple straight sticks.

The ancient realtors wanted to get their commission and needed accurate land surveys for the parcel being sold off. Follow the money!

We don’t give the ancients enough credit, I think.
In that old series, “In Search Of”, with Leonard Nimoy, everything was either a sacrificial altar or a star calendar.
The ancients were as creative as we flatter ourselves being. I think we may fail to understand some of the problems they faced.

Egyptians would re-plot flooded cropland with a standard rope length and 3 stakes.

We must reject mathematics that gives correct answers since it was invented by white people. LOL

Curious, what people that are alive today descended from the Babylonians?

It just goes to show that if a woman feels like she’s being cheated, she will go to any length to prove it.

History of Mathematics was one of my favorite courses in undergrad. Highly recommend reading up on it you haven’t already. Of course, I assume it’s now a “woke” subject like everything else, so one probably has to go with older texts to get the truth.

ADAM had the mind of CHRIST.
It makes sense that the generations that followed ADAM were of high intellect, but their minds degenerated over time because of the fall.
