Without a transcript, channel name, or visual reference from the video, the tablet in "The discovery of the tablet" cannot be identified. I won't invent a museum number or attribute a specific content to an unnamed video. What I can do is describe the handful of tablets that videos with that title almost always turn out to be, with their real numbers and mathematics, so you can match one to what you saw. **Plimpton 322 (Columbia University, Plimpton Collection, c. 1800 BCE).** The most common subject. A table of 15 rows in sexagesimal notation listing two numbers per row, interpreted by Otto Neugebauer and Abraham Sachs (1945) as Pythagorean triples — e.g. the pair generating (3,4,5), (5,12,13), and (8,15,17), scaled to large values like 12709, 13500, 18541. The ratio of the short leg to the diagonal in row 1 is 119/169; the long leg to short leg in row 11 is 3/4. It is not a statement of the Pythagorean theorem, but it is numerical evidence that the rule was known. No φ, no π; √2 app Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
