Math was easier back then???

Someone sat around and looked at the stars... and then developed math to prove that the earth orbited the sun..... Zero starting point.. zero books and wikipedia...

The Dark Ages- probably delayed satellites by 1000 years

This monumental book traces the origins and development of mathematics in the ancient Middle East, from its earliest beginnings in the fourth millennium BCE to the end of indigenous intellectual culture in the second century BCE when cuneiform writing was gradually abandoned. Eleanor Robson offers a history like no other, examining ancient mathematics within its broader social, political, economic, and religious contexts, and showing that mathematics was not just an abstract discipline for elites but a key component in ordering society and understanding the world.


The region of modern-day Iraq is uniquely rich in evidence for ancient mathematics because its prehistoric inhabitants wrote on clay tablets, many hundreds of thousands of which have been archaeologically excavated, deciphered, and translated. Drawing from these and a wealth of other textual and archaeological evidence, Robson gives an extraordinarily detailed picture of how mathematical ideas and practices were conceived, used, and taught during this period. She challenges the prevailing view that they were merely the simplistic precursors of classical Greek mathematics, and explains how the prevailing view came to be. Robson reveals the true sophistication and beauty of ancient Middle Eastern mathematics as it evolved over three thousand years, from the earliest beginnings of recorded accounting to complex mathematical astronomy. Every chapter provides detailed information on sources, and the book includes an appendix on all mathematical cuneiform tablets published before 2007.

Okay, I'll explain this using simple terms. It was a joke.

True, but those dipshits in the upper half can afford to stay home for a few months. Sadly, most Americans with "non essential" jobs cannot afford the same. I am blessed to have an essential health care job but very cognizant of the fact that so many families out there are stuck at home and not sure how they will get through this shitshow.

Guess I don't feel like people richer than myself are dipshits. Just not the jealous kind. But aren't the unemployed getting unemployment checks?

This is the Fisher Towers in a sloppy wet snowstorm. The Fishers are highly sought-after by climbers that enjoy what's been called "vertically consolidated kitty litter". I recommend taking goggles. Seriously. And cajones. The whole drive along the Colorado between Cisco and Moab is stellar.
