At Australia’s University of New South Wales, a team of academics is poring over a slab of ancient clay. Slowly, they come to a shocking realization about the rows and columns etched across its surface - and it’s a revelation that will change everything we think we know about mathematics.The story begins back in the early 1900s, when American archaeologist Edgar Banks was exploring an area that today is part of southern Iraq. As a lover of antiquities, Banks spent much of his career buying up ancient artifacts during the dying days of the Ottoman Empire.

"This 37 year old discovery" (5:26)
Underrated after two years lol
@@pulverer Yyeah
That threw me off
Actually, EVERY fact of history uncovered rewrites history. It's just that this one suggests that humans learned these mathematical skills a thousand years earlier than we thought. I'll bet I can guess why we are not celebrating the multi-millennia long tradition of Sumerian advanced mathematics.
Please, I’m not very clever. Are you being facetious or serious? Implying we haven’t heard about it because it’s obvious, ignored to play ourselves up, unimportant, or we focus on the discovery that ‘improved’ on it. Or fake? Or the Roman/Carthage way where we steal the info and claim it as ours. Sorry it’s 3 years old, and thank you too.
According to spiritual savant Sri Yukeswars book The Holy Science narrates how the Yugas act as our spiritual evolutionary steering mechanism.
We are currently on an ascending spiritual evolutionary trajectory for the next 10k years.
People who lived in the past Treta & Satya yugas were more advanced than 90% of the people walking around today.
@@tr7b410 Brainless drivel. "spiritual evolutionary steering mechanism" sounds sciency but means nothing. Exactly what mechanism? As measured, how and with what? How does this mechanism define and demonstrate the existence of the spirit?
@@InformationIsTheEdge Checkout the amount of information now being downloaded into the conscious minds of NDE experiencers-Jose Hernandez-ATHEIST DIES AND IS SHOCKED BY WHO HE SEES IN HEAVEN 2.7 million hits.1 such example.

These are indicators that our society is becoming more spiritually evolved.
The number of people turning away from organized religion & turning inward in meditation for answers is also increasing=1 billion people practicing yoga,is stimulating the Kundalini energies within to a greater degree.
Yet another sign of the times.
But of course first YOU must have an open mind & due diligence in researching the links I just gave you in order to arrive at an educated opinion.
No, people who win wars rewrite history. History is just a collection of work that those in power use to convince everyone their power is justified. Everything discovered contributes to the collective knowledge of man, sparking ideas for new discovery and innovative for those not captured and blinded by paradigm, bringing us all closer to understanding more who we are, where we came from and, what happens when we die, regardless of what ones personal mind believes. Just because a history book says humans weren't here they were there, doesn't mean they won't find a screwdriver made of bone a mile down 20 years from now. I read a book once, it told me someone made the world in seven days. Heard it's a bestseller. Countless lives have been lost because of that book.
Make a 3-D printing of the tablet so the reproductions can be handed out to other universities. This would be a magnificent thing for a lot of the Clay cuneiform tablets.
Tenar10r oh they've 1000s of clay tablets only a small fraction have been translated cuneiform text. Super exciting part is already for those prepared to listen even our very creation has altered. Sadly dogma makes this transition tough, cant wait until the rest are released...... hmmmm exciting times...
Tenar10r they would never make it available to the public...
They don’t want the public to figure it out and knock the chip off their shoulder
That's a fantastic idea
..And that's not including the large cache of tablets from Ur, within the depths of The British Museum, of which a proportion are supposedly in Coelbren/Cimmerian/Khumeric/Kemerio rather than typical Akkadian Cruniform that was pulled & shipped back from the Royal Ur Archives dig, that was lost in the justified exuberance & grandeur of the Tutankhamun/Tutankhaten/Rathotis discovery in the early 1920's.
Many photos are publicly available. The actual tablet is on public display. A 3D print is unnecessary, but could be done by anyone using the photos. Pretending: "they would never make it available to the public..." is hilarious.
Babylon was essentially the outgrowth of Sumerian culture, and this is still Sumerian, which is not really surprising. And the Sumerians probably got a lot of what they know from somebody else. A lot was lost, about 12k years ago.
Nothing new under the sun.
Another example of relearning forgotten discoveries. Just imagine where humanity would be if we all could get along.
Original translation: "Am very drunk, again, this day. Do not offer coffee as I will become a wide-awake drunk."
Fascinating...the tablet is a roadmap of sorts. It tells of the differences in numerical values in a different format than you and i are accustomed to.
We use the tens, ones, hundreds, thousands system. This one utilizes the sixties system. It also goes on to explain in terms of percentage rather than quantitative numbers.
Our clocks have a base 60. It's been known for a long time that base 60 is sometimes very useful, by modern architects for example. He made a historical discovery : proving what a lot of historians had guessed a long time ago. It's a nice discovery, but hardly history changing.
And 42 years after graduating High School, another day passes where I did NOT have any need to use the Algebra I was told would be so essential to my life.
Yes, giant are in the south pole, and south America, fort riley
I asked a college professor WHY OH WHY do I have to learn Algebra to become a Psychologist.. His answer: The world has many problems. Problems are solved by learning the rules, applying the rules in a step by step manner and thinking logically to come up with a solution. Algebra teaches you these things............ 😕
@@rogerdodger8415 Yes, and I was told that leadership skills from military service are essential to lead ship in business, yet when I applied for a low level supervisors position, I was asked what experience I had in leadership. I responded that I had 22 years of military service and 20 of those years in leadership positions, all in progressively greater level of responsibility. To which they responded, “Sorry, but what else ya got.”
Well, some of the rest of us haven't missed out. Too bad you did.
@@rogerdodger8415 Too bad politicians never learned that, they pass laws, tell everyone else to follow them, then ignore the rules themselves.
The tablet actually read...Employees must wash hands before returning to work.
_"Thanks. _*_Management."_*
Wow im in the bathroom at work watching this and as i read what you said i looked up to read the same thing 😂😂😂😂
Brilliant!
It actually reads...You don't have to be mad to work here but it helps.
My joke was, "get a job"
We still use base 60 today. We all use it. We call it, "The Clock."
That is not base 60, base means the basic digits. Base 10 goes from 0 to 9, so base 60 would need to have 60 symbols to represent a single digit.
Ok. Let's correct this for the math geniuses. The clock has 60 units each representing a one minute solar arc. Time is not constant but this is the best some brave genius could work out. (This is why I don't believe in time travel because there's really no such thing as time.) We could have used any system of time we wanted because we made it up. We just happened to settle on 60. Why? I don't know. But, it's a system of 60 so called minutes which minute has been different in every civilization.
Time is just our perception of each day, it's strange it's odd if u think about it because it makes sense to us. But on the other hand u interpret time many ways I'm no mathematician but for example our clock could have been made to have 4 hours equal 1 or 2 equal 1, I'm sure there's endless ways and whichever form we used would be the norm, and maybe 60 seconds would be odd. Lol I have no idea why that interests me or why I even decided to try to comment, actually idk why or how I even ended up on this video or in this comment feed? Why it was a suggested video now not 3 weeks in future? Time if u think about it is odd, is that a form of philosophy? Time =s man's perception. 🤔
John Gilbert True.
And the god of Horus is the 24 segments which we coincidentally call Hour, and the Horizon is Horus Rising.
That tablet sucks. It doesn't even do anything when you touch the screen.
And it is too big to suck down if you have a headache.
Anthony Goalsetter did you charge the tablet before trying to use it? Not smart.

Looks a bit heavy, too - like a Samsung 10inch tab 2
But the battery life is *AMAZING*

I'm quite sure his wife sent him right back out for forgetting something.
What does the frigging tablet say? It could have taken 30 seconds to tell us.
it is a list of pythagorean triples, i.e. numbers that fit to the pythagorean equation. Not a big deal actually. Like 3,4,5 or 5,12,13. I don't see what is the super discovery. These guys had found more or less that the pythagorean theorem held, but had no proving system yet - no abstract math. So they could not prove it.
Looseel Scott Lol!
Judy Snyder Thank you for this. From my limited knowledge it seems like the culture (since is seems there is a big debate in the comments) from which this came had to have a huge educational system. Tables like these are always found, and there are tons that are untranslated still. From what you put here, there is only one Pythagorean triple the 9,41, 40. Honestly it looks like an answer key. Do we know where this was found? Do we know what other tablets where found in the vicinity? The Egyptians also had this style of creating math problems, then providing the answer. In fact Richard Feyman said there were two ways of approaching mathematics what he called the "Greek Way," which is how we are presented mathematics i.e. proofs, and the "Babylonian Way," which would be using tables to solve problems. The problem with all these tablets in my mind is that they were discovered and thrown in a warehouse and then eventually someone will come along and translate one of them without context. If my hypothesis is not correct please tell me I am fascinated with ancient mathematics and with anyone that can read these tablets. Also from what I read they would use different based system depending on the context, I think that financial statements where in base 10 but all of the astrological calculations were in base 60 again I am only a pleb.
Big friggin deal math, reminds me of my grandfather waiting in line for "It's a small World After All..." after waiting for maybe half an hour but it might have been more, Grandpa asked what ride we were waiting so long for and my mom answered him "a bunch of dolls singing It's A Small World" and Grandpa's response made me and mom and a bunch of others laugh. "Dolls!!!! Were standing in line for Dolls!!! He had just come back from his job in Indonesia funny thing is that I have his temperament as mom said. Anyhoo
a method of expressing fractions in base 60.
So... Each Civilization is getting less intelligent than those before it?
did you finally get your answer to why you are here?
i have been looking into it for years. first of all, each generation is not less intelligent than the preceeding. on what scale first of all? would we expect that our ancestors from 65 million years ago were vastly more intelligent than us, even though they were shrews? or do you mean the mostly under-nourished ancestors from 500 years ago, that never really reached their cognitive potential? ridiculous generalization.
secondly, the rocks you are talking about are very impressive. but to say "vastly superior stone cutting technology" is to over-play it. the only proof of i can think of is the greater depth per revolution on drill holes in some granit stones. but when it comes to cutting, getting vastly superior to engineered diamond blades is kind of hard.
Chad Kovac, contractions and retractions of progress. It's a mystery were evolution is leading us now.
I dont recall ancients have our level of technology today..
Raghu Seetharaman then you need to look closer
Incredible, there's much more out there.
@Robert Batalo, Please Sir, may I share this with you ua-cam.com/video/BYD2irfjc38/v-deo.html
Nothing new under the sun; even in ancient times.
it only rewrites history if you believe in evolution, and then they wont update history in any way, unless they are revealed as the heretics they are. there is no telling the intelligence of early man, especially before and after the flood.
more likely it is a list a woman gave her husband to the market

have you seen the new gender pronouns ? they seem pretty new to me
Yumpie Oo No I just keep that ish basic . Words morf - vibes don't 😉
The ancients have been teaching us all along when we listen and until academia hoards the information for personal gain and applause by withholding it, rather than sharing it for our enlightenment. Nice to see Plimpton 322 hasn't suffered the same fate.
The Mesopotamians and the Babylonians were amazing people. It seems like every 2 to 3 years, someone discovers something that proves they were way ahead of the game thousands of years ago.
Evolution does NOT teach that people/proto-people were stupid at any era. BTW, Evolution covers far more massive time spans, nothing as recent as the Mesopotamians or Babylonians. Try learning something germane to the argument before attempting to declare what is true or not.
Brian. Looks like evolution is proving that Idiocracy is true.
Brian. If a crane cannot lift something, you employ more cranes to lift the tons of weight. I’m guessing here, but I think you’re trying to say that in Bronze Age, thousands of people working in unison could move and lift stones that a modern single crane cannot do today.
Derik Henderson
Read the story. Then go see the Coral Castle in Florida.
Then. Rethink your last response.
patti jesinoski. Rethink what? Strip mine coal cranes can lift more than any stone that was lifted in ancient times. For myself, it is amazing how ancient people were able to lift massive stones without today’s technology.
Just proves one thing. Academics “think they are all that.” They haughtly believe prior civilizations could not be as advanced as we are today. SURPRISE!
Yes the picture is blurry but maybe if we keep jooming in it will become clear again
That's so cool keep up the great work
That is interesting to know and I wish there was more information on that tablet though on the math information. There must have been so much more information available and I would have loved to see it.
The sumerians invented the number system based on 12, such as 24 hours, 60 minutes, etc.
It was actually based on the number 6.

Let's cut to the chase here. It's a trigonometric table.
I have always believed that somewhere in time, us humans forgot a lot of things we knew. Not sure how tho.
Back then with no tv and such people had a lot more time to think and talk to each other about important things.
At about 5:30, the narrator indicates this is a 37-year old artifact rather than one 3,700 years old.
So now there will be a new fast- food chain, "Wildburgers", which will specialize in triangle- shaped hamburgers. It's only logical.
Any chance of giving the patriarch Noah the credit for building the ark?
How about taking the BIBLE seriously‼️
Surely sophisticated Math would have been required to build this Huge seaworthy vessel, especially when it appears that perhaps might have been the only one of its kind.
No, don’t tell me you don’t believe the biblical account despite the mass of evidence confirming the GREAT FLOOD.
angles based upon ratios... someone needs to use this to inform Daniel Mansfield of his tie that is out of ratio to the length of his torso..
One correction is that written history begins with sumerians not with babylon.
Babylon is the city the sumerians lived
I know that language, i know what it said, it said "three goats, 4 dozen eggs, sacrafice one lamb for that cow you stold, count 8 inches in between each plant,two bales of hay, a jar of frankincense, one cup of mint and some peppers, ps, one gallon of milk and a bushel of potatoes for you father.
This sounds so dramatic to find 1 (one) tablet.
There were thousands of Sumerien clay-tablets found and distributed all over the world. Some old libraries under the sand had some 20,000 tablets - and the good thing is - we can read them. Look for Hamunrabi's LAW book on clay tablets. A very modern way to regulate the law and keep order.
Pre-sumerian
They have examined it in detail to understand its purpose and context. Its a sort of look up table to help you work out what the hypotenuese would be for a range of different right angle triangles (i.e. with different slopes). Interestingly Danial Mansfield has just published a paper about another 'Old Babylonian' tablet called Si.427 which confirms his theory by putting this all into practice as a surveying problem as it shows all the workings to calculate the area of the given problem. You can find the video on Norman Wildberger's Insight into Mathematics series.
What how did they charge this 3700 year old tablet?
It was built by using reCLAYmed material
It also ran on WATERED down Theory

If there is "rational trigonometry", is their "irrational trig"? How about "Psychotic trig?"

no, its all the correct answers for the final exam.
too bad all that hard work "cheating" was wasted as they forgot to put their name on the assignment.
Agree
Given the date, it’s more likely Sumerian or Akkadian, not Babylonian. Babylon conquered Judah in the 6th century BC, which is 1000 years later than the tablet.
America being such a young country, we do have a tendency to think of all ancient history as occurring at about the same time, but between the Akkadian and Babylonian empires was a time span comparable to the time from William the Conquerer (1066) to Elizabeth II ((1953 to present).
I believe that there were two Babylonian Empires. The first one occurred around 1800-1700 BC and gave us the famous Code of Hammurabi. The New Babylonian Empire lasted only a few years. After defeating the Assyrians in 612-605 BC, the newer empire was defeated by the Medes and Persians in 538 BC. It reached its peak under Nebuchadnezzar who conquered Jerusalem in 586 BC. He died the empire declined rapidly. Google "Babylonian Empires" and see.
Allan Richardson Maybe Akkadian? There are 5000-year-old Sumerian tablets (ca. 1 million) being translated right now. Sumerians said they didn't invent anything: they were given the knowledge.
hawkturkey nephelim.
They had to fix that large (haha) nephelim problem with a lot of water.
Have you ever thought what kind of material did they use to made the stone tablet that can last for thousands of years ?
Always has to be a fuckin mathematician that figures shit like this out.
Someone should tell that mathematician he needs to replace the blue suit he wore to the prom.
This is SumerianText NOT Babylon!
Deborah Sinico
Same geographic area, slightly later time-frame: would have been very similar if not the same, due to all of the tech from the Sumerians.
Think of Japanese kanji vs. Chinese hanzi -although it's a different civilization, they use the same symbols
Deborah Sinico Which is different than SAMARIA also. lol
Sumerian Text has also been found on pottery in bolivia
Wah bro you must be a super nerd to know that 😂😂
Sumerian cuneiform was more pictographic than wedge-formed. Check out: www.omniglot.com/writing/sumerian.htm
It's amazing that mankind had reached that level of advanced math at such and early time of our existence.

So, they had fridges 3700 years ago? My, but that *does* rewrite history!
I thought this was the "first yo mama joke" tablet
This is fantastic news!
Interesting but I don’t see history being rewritten !
Holirumics Friend Sadly, no.
Lol so it doesnt change our history of who was the earliest civilization to do trig?
It's just a claim they put on all these videos to get you to click on them.
The pyramids should have already proven that !
Well when it comes to firsts it seems like these guys knew things we thought the greeks worked out. If we find this civilisation knew it earlier that does rewrite that bit of history. ....it happens every day. Remember ancient people from this time had brains as capable as ours. we are their ancestors. Our western history as we are taught starts in this part of the world. Also remember history is written down by victors usually and people then were just like now.
Well done Aussies. What is most interesting is that the first-known human civilisation seemed to be the smartest (the most accurate trig table). That ancient Mesopotamian civilisation was not only the first-known collection of cities, but the first writing, money, accounts, and now the first and best trigonometry tables!
Fascinating history lesson.
Whilst we, here in England, had been using a base 6 system for most things (our currency for one)...until the darn Europeans invented Decimal because they can only count using their fingers......bah humbug.....
And your obvious command of language ,makes you an edifying scholar worthy of debate...NOT!! You utter piece of shit.
dont know (nor care) which country you call home is, but there was not a single european Asian or African country then existing which did not wage war upon those 'lesser folk' around them, or take slavery to industrial proportions, like the Arabs did long before Europe got involved with it, thankyou and Ta Ta for now.XX
@@Pfirtzer that made me lol! Thanks
@@bodgerglc some moar hate in your reply would had been good
Graham Cooper it was base 12.12 inches to the foot,12 pennies to the shilling etc...This has the advantage of being divided by 1,2,3,4,6 and 12 and the use of fractions(pi expressed by 22/7 rather than 3.14).
The decimal system has the advantage of simplicity among many others(weights and measures are certainly easier to use).
The base 12 was introduced by Europeans to the UK by the Romans,European invaders.Decimal use was adopted by choice.

It's about time so much truth is finally coming out everybody's been going through life with blinders on including myself!
Pitagoras was NOT the author of trigonometry. He used EGYPTIAN rules of "saint triangles" that is seen in all Egyptian monuments. His famous Pythagorean Theorem is just an reinvented Egyptian knowledge that he acquired during his visit to Egypt about 535 B.C.
It's obviously broken!

We still use the 345 Pythagoras ratio to build anything, and you anything handy to make an exact square. A triangle with a 3ft, a 4ft. and a 5ft side will have a 90degree angle at the 3ft, 4ft corner. It means you don't need a fancy tool to make a square building, a flat floor, a perfectly straight tower, etc.
When translated it actually said, "Hello Sweetie.".
"I found some ancient thing. Now I have to figure out how to explain that it's important so I can keep my job"
i bet it says " eat at joe's"
If you double tap the right side of your screen on many phones, you can fast forward ten seconds. Just keep tapping till this guy gets to the point.
You could have just said that its a 3.7k year old ancient tablet that has trigonometry of base 60 guidelines.
There are several ancient algebraic "Mathematical scrolls" that pre-date the so-called "Exodus" (which is actually the story of the Hyksos people). Our system of telling time is also [12/24:60:60] "base 60", as is our system of "degrees of a circle" [360:60:60], and it seems the human eye's "flicker frequency" is also a "base-12/60" system; a system that movies (24-48-60-72fps), NTSC television (60Hz), and stereoscopic movies/television (120-144Hz)) is based on as well. These measurements only apply to THIS planet.

Jonny-5
Not a long attention span i c.
Isn't it interesting that a right angle is 90 degrees and not 100 degrees? notice 60 is 2/3 of 90? They must have had 90 fingers to figure that out or maybe 30 fingers 15 0n each hand.
You're wrong, Mayans had a base 20 system.
The first time I was confronted with the contrast between the sextant unit and decimal I thought the sextant unit was old and foolish,..until I understood it came from celestial numerology. Such as the procession of the equinox. Now things begin to make sense.
Further more, rare are the ocasions that something simply appears out of the blue, and even more rare when such things happen.
This is not a rare example of the ancient world teaching us something new, this is rather the norm, i.e. ancient world teaches us novelties all the time

I think I knew you in high school...in California...in1968.
ARE YOU ADD?
Save 6:30 of your life and go on to something else. The tablet says the Babylonians used trigonometry using a base 60 system (but doesn't explain how).
Check out a book , " Hidden Harmonies, The Lives and Times of the Pythagorean Theorem". by the Kaplans..cool!
It's strange how things eco down through the centuries . It's thought that we get 60 minutes to an hour from this people .

This sounds very much like the scale on a framing square!, that tells a carpenter, what ratios,equall what pitch
indeed!
I have to laugh every time I hear a commentator or even a scientist talk about how something was invented by 'whoever', as geometry, trigonometry and math in general was most certainly NOT invented by man, merely uncovered...It is found all over in nature and even on other planets...Man is a prideful lot !
Pia Hansen Touché!
Pia Hansen That's not what everyone believes. Some think math is a super strict invented language.
Humanity is prideful (and at times stupid), indeed.
stuart Nicklin.....Do you mean that someone truly believes that we as a species invented math as a language ? I do agree that it is like a complete language, I just don't agree that mankind invented it himself....Much like music, which is also a lot like a complete language, but there again, we cannot claim to have invented sound, surely ? :D
Pia Hansen I don't know how to make links on my phone. PBS documentary on you tube called math is a human invention.
"Dissolve in hot water and drink. If symptoms persist consult a physician". :)
It was a phone number and a message that read "For a great time call Biggus Dickus".
What a find! I wonder if they changed the numbers to our numbers if this is a tool our mathematicians would find helpful. Maybe not since we use computers now. It could help young students of math by laying out visually and simplifying a complicated concept. Much like an abacus does for basics of adding and subtracting. That is what inspired chisenbop (sp?)
yes!!!
TIKI TIKI No!!!
Cool video 😁
High school students study such tables of Pythagorean triplets for tests like the SAT. Also, they didn't have to calculate the hypotenuses, all they had to do was construct the triangle and measure. Egyptians were using such concepts to measure land after the Nile flooded at least a thousand years before that tablet was made.
How long do you think Math takes to be developed?!!! Any civilization that was around for at least 100 years would develop basic Math, the longer the civilization exists the more complex the Math will become. The Egyptians were around for 3000 years hmmm I wonder if they did anything interesting, wait oh YES the Pyramids!!! Math has been around as long as humans have been trying to solve problems.
boxertest ... Create math? Really? No one could create math! It was uncovered.
at 5:29 you said "37 year-old "
"Remember to drink your Ovaltine."
Nothing new to see here. Apparently the meaning of this tablet has been known since at least the late '40s--nearly 70 years! See: Bruins, Evert M. (1949), "On Plimpton 322, Pythagorean numbers in Babylonian mathematics", Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen Proceedings, 52: 629-632. Are they just now getting the memo in Australia? 'Cause that's how it seems.
