I wouldn’t say Mathematics is the language of everything but I can say that Mathematics is a powerful language which can represent the world around us with striking precision. Also it can be generalised on it’s own separate from the physical world which is fantastic!

The oldest clay tablets with mathematics date back over 4,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. The oldest written texts on mathematics are Egyptian papyruses. Since these are some of the oldest societies on Earth, it makes sense that they would have been the first to discover the basics of mathematics.

THANK YOU

THANK YOU... SIR...!!!

This was absolutely amazing. I was in a trance just loving every minute of it and had to share it. It brought back my mathematical memory I miss greatly but have forgotten the language, way back when I was in middle school I was a mathematical genius. My teacher was saying I could have taught a college class to students, but at the same time that year I had a seizure. Since then I have been an Epileptic 30 yrs now and in due time my memory and math had gotten scrambled as apparently the seizures stem from my left temporal lobe area. But deep down intuitively my brain still works like a computer but I can't describe it in our human terminology. This was just more detail the religious and spiritual people seem to forget about man's history. Thank you.

HOW TO FIND THE EXACT EXACT EXACT CIRCUMFERENCE OF CIRCLE . Procedure Step 1. Draw a square, 2 diagonals and inscribe a circle in the square. Thereby side and diameter will be the same Step 2 : Subtract 2 diagonals from the perimeter of square Step3. Divide step2 with 8 Step4. Add 3 times of the side. to Step 3 At the end we get the EXACT circumference of the inscribed circle

The most glaring fact that the Egyptians are a bunch of geniuses, look at them today...

please turn up the music even LOUDER!!

to many adds

I was once told the numbers we used today are based on the number of angles in the written number itself. 0 had no angles, one had 1, two had 2 (more like a Z) three had 3, four had 4 (if the top of the four is not connected you have four angles, seven had 7 (put the line through the middle and add a small L to the end of the upper small leg and you have seven angles), eight has 8 (square up the circles and you have 8 angles) nine had 9 (square up all the arcs and continue the one line the second arc from the bottom through the middle, the arc on the bottom becomes square and a small line perpendicular to the end of it is added and you have nine angles), six can be done in a similar way 6 (straighten out all arcs and you have 5 angles, add one line perpendicular to the upper line and you have six), that they were shortened to today's form?

The music is way to loud. It’s also very distracting.

I agree. Like so many other videos on KZread, the music tracks are overbearing, distracting, and however interesting the content, make the videos unwatchable. Disappointing…

In search of the remark of the presenter, I asked chatGPT “How was the library of Alexandria destroyed?” and I got the following answer. As it is hard for me to believe that the Islamic conquest of Egypt could have destroyed the Library since the very foundation of the religion is based on acquiring knowledge. The very first word revealed to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) from Allah (God of the Muslims) by Arch Angel Gabriel is to ‘read’ or ‘Iqra’. Not only that, every incident, even the number of warriors in a battle during Mohammad’s (PBUH) time was meticulously recorded by his followers and the next generation of followers of the followers and so on. And the trend continued. I just heard of the ‘destruction of Alexandria by Muslim Conquest’ theory from this video and never heard of such an important event in history before, in my life. Whatever the truth may be the same conquering force build so many beautiful religious structures at the same time in and the around the land of Egypt and North Africa. Those are based on the mathematics of patterns and proportions. They established so many institutions of learning and scholarship at the same time. It is important to note that the Library's destruction predates the Islamic conquest of Egypt. Anyway, history is sometimes cruel in favor of the players who play the time. I respect the presenter in his journey to seek the truth and look forward to his conquest of truth in the future. ChatGPT’s answer: The Library of Alexandria, one of the most renowned and significant libraries in ancient times, met a rather unfortunate fate. There is no one definitive account of its destruction, and historical records provide various explanations. However, several theories exist regarding the library's demise: 1. Fire by Julius Caesar: In 48 BCE, during the Roman conquest of Alexandria, Julius Caesar was said to have accidentally set fire to the Egyptian fleet in the harbor. The flames spread to the city, reaching the library and causing substantial damage. However, it is debated whether the library itself was intentionally targeted or caught in the crossfire. 2. Destruction during the Roman period: Over the years, during the Roman occupation of Egypt, it is believed that the Library of Alexandria suffered further damage and deterioration due to neglect, lack of maintenance, and occasional unrest. 3. Christian mob or decree: Another theory suggests that the library was destroyed by a Christian mob or through an official decree from a Christian ruler. The reasoning behind this theory is that the library was seen as a repository of pagan knowledge and thus a threat to Christian authority. However, concrete evidence to support this claim is scarce. 4. Multiple incidents: It is important to note that the Library of Alexandria was not a single structure but rather a collection of libraries scattered throughout the city. The destruction of the library might have occurred gradually over time through a series of incidents, including fires, invasions, and general deterioration. Due to the lack of comprehensive historical records and conflicting accounts, the exact details of the library's destruction remain uncertain. Nevertheless, it is widely accepted that the Library of Alexandria suffered significant damage, leading to the loss of countless ancient texts and knowledge.
