       > A 3,700-year-old clay tablet has revealed that the ancient
       Babylonians understood the Pythagorean theorem more than 1,000
       years before the birth of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, who
       is widely associated with the idea.

       surveyors to draw accurate boundaries and is engraved with
       cuneiform markings which form a mathematical table instructing
       the reader on how to make accurate right triangles. The tablet
       is the earliest known example of applied geometry.

       > A French archeological expedition first excavated the tablet,
       which dates to between 1900 and 1600 B.C in what is now Iraq in
       1894, and it is currently housed in the Istanbul Archeological
       Museum.

       It's called the 'Pythagorean' Theorem because Pythagoras was the
       first to introduce it to the Greeks. He didn't invent the
       theorem. But I'm sure you and I are one of the twelve people who
       know that.
