It predates Pythagoras by over 1,000 years.

    A handful of people can be credited with discovering the theorem prior to Pythagoras, this isn’t the first time this has come up, and incidentally there is almost no evidence to suggest Pythagoras did.

      Good to know! TBH, I’m specifically excited to see it was present in the fertile crescent. I really like clay tablets.

        Quite possible. Ancient Greeks really liked Akkadians.

          Quite possible.

          I’m not sure I understand this statement? Isn’t that what the article says?
