apparently people think Pythagoras discovered the theorum about lengths of a right triangle.
Babylonians and other regions used this 1,000 years before Pythagoras.

Why is it called the Pythagorean theorem and not the Babylonian theorem then, huh, smart guy? Checkmate atheists.

It wasn’t even Pythagoras, but his students, who named the proof after him.
