We love this content. Please post more! :) Sumerian and Babylonian mathematics and astronomy are just about the most interesting topics in all of ancient history.
I too am grateful for your presentation on this highly interesting and insightful material! I have been studying the Near Eastern Cultures , Ugaritic, Early Canaanites, Early Hebrews, and this should serve as a further "key" to unlocking the past, which is often hidden from our eyes. Thank you both for your dedication. I would excitedly take the first "course" in Babylonian mathematics and culture if you so chose to offer it! Let the magic begin!!
I really enjoy the way you guys present and convey your interest and excitement discovering this long lost knowledge. Also rare to find such novel content on TH-cam. Much appreciated. I'm very much looking forward to the next videos.
Looking forward to the rest of the series. I feel there needs to be more history of maths and science on the internet than there currently. It's such a shame uni I study at doesn't seem any courses about the history of mathematical thought despite it being such an important element of the intellectual traditions of these cultures.
Cameron Torrance The history of thought is one of my favorite fields, especially the history of logic/math/philosophy/science. It is indeed an often neglected area. This line of inquiry can provide a tremendous amount of insight when trying to find weak points in, and new ways of approaching these subjects.
Thank you so much for making this video! Pythagoras triples are one of my favorite subjects in mathematics and I will be certainly watching this series.
I am really looking forwards to seeing the rest of thes series, it could help me out in my own research. I would lile to point out one thing though. Is there any chance you could use a different mic because the one you're using now just blocks the view of the book you was presenting and the pages could not be seen clearly. thanks for the upload.
This is going to be very interesting! Looking forward to it! On another note, I recently came across this non-trivial meme: (a/b+c)+(b/a+c)+(c/a+b)=4 There is a very good explanation for it at quora (elliptic curve), but a video would be great too. Cheers!
Thank you, The greeks borrow the knowledge from the summerinas, remember, the greeks traded with Phenicia and borrow the phonetic alphabet, the 360 degrees in the circle, the 60 minutes, 60 seconds etc. In turn they developed some of that knowledge, like the Pythagorean formulas etc.and brought that knowledge to Italy, roma, the Romans continued with the greek knowledge brought to the rest of Europe, then the world.....
Greek scholars journeyed to both Egypt & Mesopotamia to learn & extract knowledge. Yet reported nothing worth-while in their writing & gave no credit. As per text books, Mesopotamians invented the wheel, made calculations beyond the millions, charted the planets, they even invented the 1st primitive battery. I would be wary of Greeks bearing gifts.
Should not be called the plimpton tablet, it should honor the Summerions and not somebody of modern times. Let us honor he Summerians who trully deserve the credit. More fitting, perhaps could be the Summerian trigonometric tablet or something similar. Thanks, My name is Francisco Fernando Gutierrez.

amazing show, the enthuism is contagious from both hosts.
Indeed, I cannot stop watching this video it is truly a work of art and effort of the 2 producers. Much Love.

Thanks Tino. I have been looking forward to presenting this material for quite a while: there are some fascinating surprises awaiting us!

Fascinating stuff. Looking forward to further installments. Thanks for sharing.
Exciting intro. I'm excited to see where this playlist leads.

Thank you both for letting us in on your exciting research.
Really looking forward to the rest of the series
sir u are really a great teacher. and we feel proud on u and ur work and get a lot of knowledge from these video series
This series looks great!
Thanks Sir

Change the world professors! Good luck to you.
You should do some videos on Mesopotamian metrology, if you really want to go over some interesting topics
Mathematical astronomy in particular
This is going to be very interesting! Looking forward to it!

Interesting content but that bright white background is very hard on the eyes. (viewing it on a TV screen via Chromecast.)
The next videos will have a different format so should be easier on the eyes.
Exodus was about 1850 BC
I just realized that I said "Arthur Plimpton" when I should have said "George Arthur Plimpton".
Connection to Skull and Bones perhaps? Or Genesis 3:22?
13:17 p triples
