This is proved by the decrypted clay plates that made ancient mathematicians.
In ancient Babylon, the principles of Pythagoras mathematics were known. This proved the decryption of clay tablets / UNIAN collage, Wikipedia photoStudying clay plates from Ancient Babylon, archaeologists have found that the famous mathematical principle, known as Pythagoras theorem, was opened a thousand years before Pythagoras himself. IFLSCIENCE writes about it.
One of the most ancient evidence of the discovery is the clay plate with the code IM 67118. There the diagonal of the rectangle is calculated precisely with the help of a mathematical system known as Pythagoras theorem. The tile, which was probably used for training, dates from the period of ancient Babylon between 1900-1600 BC. BC – a century before birth in ancient Greece Pythagoras. And this, which is known, happened around 570 BC. there are.
This proves that ancient mathematicians knew Pythagoras theorem (of course, it was not called so) and other complex mathematical concepts. Another find of the same period contains a square scheme with triangles and marks, which, after translation from the Babylonian number, showed that ancient mathematicians knew the relationship between the side of the square and its diagonal – in fact it was the first example of an irrational number.
The article explains that even if so, the theorem, named after Pythagoras, will not change its name. Pythagoras’ achievements in mathematics are still significant. In particular, he founded a school on the territory of modern southern Italy, from which many scientists and philosophers came. And his knowledge was passed from generation to generation – first orally, since there was little writing material and then in writing. Pythagoreans were attributed to Pythagoreans himself with respect for their leader. This is what the authorship of the well -known theorem was consolidated.

Researchers have nominated many hypotheses, but none received confirmation. At least 120 findings of such artifacts in the northwestern provinces of the Roman Empire are known. They all date from the end of II – IV centuries and have a similar shape.
