To answer a common comment: I think the correct version should be 10 × ½ = 5. You could argue 5 × ½ = 2½ but I think it's not in keeping with the tablet.
Also: people seem to enjoy this new style of high production value video. And there could be plenty more where that came from, if, you know... www.patreon.com/standupmaths
It would be great if you would've included some examples of the operation in use. You're most likely right with your point it was supposed to be 10*(1/2)=5, but maybe it was the definition of a somehow neutral operation? Without knowing more about their math system, it's hard to tell if the writing or our understand is wrong.
Yes, those animations are so great and the ancient styled music and jingles are awesome, really loved it!
I really love your theme remixes!
But, there's another mistake. You see Ku Shim's mistake wasn't the first know to man, but the oldest to survive to this day. But then, what mathematician cares about accuracy?

plot twist: kushim was embezzling and just didn't expect anyone to check his work.
And here we are 5000 years later 😅😂
plot twist kushim was embezzling, expected his work to be checked against the actual grain and so built in some “breakage” on the record so that the record matched what the grain was
The lesson I learned today is:
If you get caught practicing "creative accounting", just claim it's a maths mistake...
seeing as how it's in the cooking range of things it simply could have been lost due to bad batch, spillage, spoilage, and they just didn't include the reason for the shortage in the document

I remember once reading a guide to stockkeeping for royal courts. It stated that you had to remove 0.03% from a total of grain bushels to allow for settling and crushed grains. The manuscript I read was from Denmark in the 18th century and warned that it was unethical to punish grainkeepers for this natural disappearance, which has been documented since time immeasurable.
So, the stock keepers were cereal offenders?
@@smaakjeks I don't think you've read what they wrote properly
I think the expression is "time immemorial"
There's a Danish phrase "being round-handed". Now it means "one who gladly gives money/stuff to others", but back in the day when tax collectors met with peasants to get grain as tax, they would dig into a grain bag with a big cup, and scrape off the top with their hand, to ensure they took exactly a cup of grain. However some collectors curved their hand so that they got more grain per cup; they were being "round-handed". This of course upset farmers and at some point the tax collectors were ordered to use a scraping stick instead to avoid cheating.
This is what I remember reading, but correct me if I'm wrong.
@@RandomTomatoSoup I don't think you have read what he wrote properly.
My man Ku Shim skimming 15 bowls of barley off the top for his personal brewery
"But I *knead* this barley for myself."
We just didn't found his personal tablets with perfect maths
Hold up. Is that a Kripperino for a different channel?
Inventory was taken, 15 bowls of wastage or sampling losses.
@@jeffreyhueseman7061 That may be more the reason for the error.
I can imagine they were aware of the wrong symbol being used in that tablet but didn't correct it because clay tablets are hard to fix.
Happens way too often among programmers nowadays. "It's not a bug worth fixing if it's a pain in the butt to fix and we have a workaround."
Fascinating video btw.
Notice how both USB sticks and clay tablets hold their info on silicon: it's just packaged rather differently
I think your theory is most likely correct. it's the most reasonable. it's something we know is likely to happen, and likely to occur in the way you describe
this is why math teachers always need you to show your work.
so people can laugh at you 5000 years later
What makes you think your teachers aren't laughing at you right now???

Well, long live ku shim!

5:12 Wow, that bowl-dot system makes almost as little sense as imperial units!
lmao
Metric? Sounds like Egyptian nonsense. We would never be able to cultivate wheat with metric! Bowl-Dot is the PATRIOTIC measurement system of Mesopotamia
The bowls and dots make perfect sense if you count in base 60
Depends how you look at things - for past civilisations an inch (roughly the length of the end of your thumb), a foot, a cubit (length from your elbow to the end of your middle finger) were measurements everyone could relate to, even if everyone's inches, feet and cubits were different sizes, you could usually get a decent approximation.
Units based on 1 ten millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator are rather harder to visualise!
@@RJSRdg sure, but by "imperial units" I meant the _system_ of measurements and not how handy the individual units are when you're stranded on a desert island without a tape measure.
These days we need to calculate more and count less and there, the system based on the length of the king's foot really shows its age. But hey, if you're really in a pinch, a yard's about a meter.
This was extremely well-produced. Kudos to your graphic designer.
And don't forget the music
Amen
Yeah, also one couple thousand years old guy - that's a tileset from The Royal Game of Ur.

Wouldn't it be funny if the animator made a mistake. Then 5,000 years later a Blorgon holo-influencer finds it and sees a name "William Marler".
8:22 I'm not doing the maths but I'm going to assume that's a Parker square!
I did the maths and can confirm that it's a Parker Square. The small bowls in the upper right are the exponent (2). And going across each row from left to right gives 29, 1, 47, 41, 37, 1, 23, 41, 29 which is, in fact, the Parker Square. (obviously square each number - that's what the exponent of 2 does)
Was looking for this comment!
Love it
That's what I thought! Put in on a t-shirt!
That's exactly what I thought when I saw it!
5:48 "Probably made sense at the time..." I expect it did.
5 x 6 is close to the number of days in a month, and ten times that feels reassuringly close to the number of days in a year - for which other mathematicians would surely have been developing systems (all civilisations seem to enjoy predicting movements of the sun, moon, stars and planets - one reason, I'm willing to bet, that we retain 360° in a circle, with 90 of those degrees in a right angle).
9,000 divides by 360 elegently into 25. If you are doing these sorts of calculations without the aid of more recent calculating machines, systems that work with factors of 3, 4, 5 and 10 are all very handy for mental arithmetic and division into shares.
I suspect also there may have been use in this divisions for being put on an abacus (which would be very limited in space and number of counting beads that could be placed on it). So helping in both mental math and use of an abacus wouldve been crucial
Round numbers in base 10 are pretty bad if you want to divide them evenly. 100 has only seven factors, while 90, despite being smaller, has ten. 360 has 22, compared to only 13 in 400.
turns out that when your brain is reminding you of that one mistake you made when you're going to sleep, its actually warning you that people thousands of years in the future will be bringing it up
Wow, props to the animator, this looks so pretty! (Props to the person who rerecorded the channel's theme too!)

8:06 had me really puzzled until the very end of that scene. What a brilliant Easter egg!
I figured it was gonna be a parker square immediately but I initially looked at the shapes the symbols made rather than their values
I wonder if the difference in multipliers could be a result of the way they were stacking/storing the grain. So there could be 5 in a jar, 6 in a crate, ten crates in a row, stacked three high and then 10 rows per area (for example). You could then compare the tablets to the stock to ensure you had what you thought. Essentially building a system based off what you were doing practically.
This makes a lot of sense. Ten is the only multiplier that occurs more than once; other multipliers based on practicality is quite convincing.
The animation in this video is gorgeous!
For sure, it's so clever and slick.

Maybe there was a predetermined factor for loss, such as barley being a perishable or mouse food. and the first example shown was not a mistake but just accepted loss and the cost of doing business.
exactly i think the word is “breakage” (learned that from breaking bad lol) that was my initial thought as well
He basically says that in the video.
"Hey siri, place an order for ten dotless side-bowls of barley" - Kushim probably
Big or little dotless side-bowls?
But was Siri an individual, or a group of people who spent all their time eves-dropping, so that they would know when their services were needed and got a lot of gossip in between. "We have become so reliant on The Siri that we can no longer function without them." - Nisa - 3000bc
Siri, Cortana and their competitors would probably come up with some AI nonsense at such a request.
"I marked an appointment with Barley on Dotless 10, year of the side bowl"
Splendidly done with the animations and remix of Matt's theme. Well done, everyone!
Fun fact: The decorative square images used in the video bumpers, such as 0:50 to 0:57, are the squares of the Royal Game of Ur, which is in the British Museum.

Kushim: Me? Have they finally appreciated all I've done in my life?
Guide: He was a man known for making a counting mistake in a grain trade.
Kushim: Oh, god damn it!
@@SwordQuake2 Their (Sumerian) Gods were more or less very similar to their Egyptian counterparts.
@@SwordQuake2 most Proto-European Gods are based on Sumerian Gods including Abarahamic religions
@@SwordQuake2 I skipped the part where Kushim was disowned by his gods, so he had to go die in Egypt.
@wfre devg Majority of European Pagan Gods and myths (especially Egyptian, Greek, Nordic and Celtic) have originated from Anatolian and Mesopotamian Gods where Sumerian God's and myths have affected the most.
If I were the ghost of Kushim, I would wear that proudly.
One possibility is that some of the bowls are reserved for tax!
The style, theme and artstyle of the video really added to the experience and vibe 🥰🥰🥰
6:48 Definitely the first icon for Excel.
Kushim has been weirdly silent since this video came out
I bet their PR team is thinking of ways to try to spin this.
@Xavier Beauchamp Thank you.

Leave them alone; they're tired of having to hear the same thing for thousands of years.
Beautiful designs, very nice music and interesting story. Thanks! :)
Amazing! Such a nice social connection between then and now!
Per the simpsons: "Alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems."

Love the animation and visuals! Super cool 😄
Kushim: Aw, c'mon guys that just one time and it was back in 4th grade.
