So before the “ancient Greeks” there was no math?!🤔🤣
this title need some fixation, How Greek Philosophers Created Greek Mathematics. Math existed long before the Greeks.
Along the same pattern I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's video "the rise and fall of the Hellenic civilization", especially as far as the rationalistic development is concerned
Fake news. Egyptians did 💡
thank you ancient Greece for our knowledge for trading 8 pieces of biface to 4 pieces of leather or something
Egyptians 💡
Very misleading… "Pythagorean" triples were found on Babylonian tablets and before that about 25,000 BC in the congo, the Ishango bone. It shows evidence of multiplication similar to the math found in Ancient Egypt.
The Ancient Greeks were a great civilization but "everything's a remix" they borrowed from those before them.
who the hell titled this?
And the sumerians, their forefathers and Egyptians were using guesswork to work out the stars and create their cities?
Pythagoras was a student of Thales, so, his son. Thales brought forth to the ancient Greek world, Geometry and more. I find this video a downer and misleading.
This documentary is old and disseminates outdated ideas. The theorem supposedly discovered by Pythagoras was recorded in Cuneiform writing on a clay tablet made 1000 years before that philosopher. We owe modernity more to the Babylonians than to the Greeks.
Trigonometry has been found on some of the Babylonian tablets well before Greece. Just saying, you may want to redo this vid!
More than likely they are just records that survive and mathematics is much older. Already a cuniform tablet has come to light that the Sumerians knew of the 'Pythagoras' rule a millennium before
@Odyssey Regretfully, because of YouTube's ban on ad blockers, I shall be cancelling all my subscriptions on the service and then closing my account. YouTube has become too big for its boots. When I first joined YT, there weren't any ads at all, but as the service grew it required more & more revenue. It's been nice while it lasted (many years, I'll admit), but the show's over now.
The Ancient Egyptians had advanced mathematics thousands of years before the Greeks. They used advanced math to construct the pyramids with great precision.
Imhotep a polymath and an egyptian preceded them both. He was their teacher…another hijack. No surprise.
Yes greek invented math😂 funny joke
Macedonias conceptualised contemporary mathematics, not Greek people.
Excellent video. The Greeks were fascinating and advanced for their age
💝🙏🕯very beautifull insight
