Scientists at the University of NSW have been investigating an ancient clay tablet, known as Plimpton 322, from the time of Hammurabi (circa 1800 BCE), whose Laws may have been the model for the Laws attributed to Moses.
Their conclusions are interesting. If you want to quickly see what its about, check outs this video by the UNSW,

As always, very interesting!
I think all math is from the Devil.
Mostly because I suck at math.
Very cool!
I have shared this with my maths and physics students as well as with my colleagues.
Sounds very interesting I will no longer mention the Pythagorean theorem any longer
Wow! That is so cool!
And humbling.
Babylonians and Egyptians way ahead of the Greeks. The Greeks eventually just stole the information.
