October 4, 20232 yr just goes to show that maybe a lot of the stuff we attribute to the Greeks might be because they were the ones who collected the information and allowed it to be more evenly distributed around the educated world. Babylonian Tablet from 1770 BC describes the Theorem,,, our hero of the Triangle wasnt born until sometime around 570 BC

October 4, 20232 yr The Greeks are pretty open about the fact that they garnered a lot of knowledge from the Persians (old empire). Including using workers from all over the middle east to help build their wonders. They had the cash and outsourced a lot of the expertise. There are blocks found in athens that standardize measurements used by foreign workers building the Parthenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek_units_of_measurement

October 4, 20232 yr Good points. Its important to cover every angle and not go off on a tangent. It’s not a very good sine. Hopefully more info is revealed so this can be squared up.
