Wikipedia, Springer is even worse, the company of tabloid press.
"Springer Science" (scientific journals and books) is not to be confused with "Axel Springer" (Bild, Welt, politico).
But is from the same group, like Nestle in food.
No, one is Axel Springer (tabloid shit), the other is Julius Springer (science stuff, founded around 100 years before the other Springer), they're not related.
To cite the famous cabaret artist Volker Pispers talking about the Bild gives a good impression in what it is:
That filthy newspaper that is so disgusting that you insult dead fish if you wrap it in it.
No? As far as I can see they have no connection.
And garden of eden as well as the story with a baby in a basket in Nil, are already in Atrahasis epos, from which Gilgamesh epos copied btw.
Cuneiform scripts were frequently coppied by scribes, so the theorem could be even older
A handful of people can be credited with discovering the theorem prior to Pythagoras, this isn't the first time this has come up, and incidentally there is almost no evidence to suggest Pythagoras did.
Good to know! TBH, I'm specifically excited to see it was present in the fertile crescent. I really like clay tablets.
Quite possible. Ancient Greeks really liked Akkadians.
Quite possible.
I'm not sure I understand this statement? Isn't that what the article says?
Oh, right.
