Did Babylonians Invent Trigonometry ???

A Babylonian clay tablet dating back 3,700 years has been identified as the world's oldest and most accurate trigonometric table, suggesting the Babylonians beat the ancient Greeks to the invention of trigonometry by over 1,000 years.

The tablet, known as Plimpton 322, was discovered in the early 1900s in what is now southern Iraq, but researchers have always been baffled about what its purpose was.

This beggars the question - are the wars against ISIS and Iraq really intended to defeat "terrorism", or are we trying to rewrite history by destroying all evidence of the Cradle of Civilization?

I vote for the latter option.

The beast does not want you to know what really happened in the past. He wants you to focus on the future he is creating for you.

Does knowledge go in circles ... in which it is destroyed by ignorance, only to arise again ... only to be destroyed again? If so, we definitely are in a destructive phase of the cycle.

And if that claim made you think "Trump", you are missing the point.
