Default Stonehenge Builders Used Pythagoras' Theorem 2,000 Years Before He Was Born

Stonehenge Builders Used Pythagoras' Theorem 2,000 Years Before He Was Born

A new book entitled "Megalith" asserts that the ancient humans who designed the Stonehenge followed Pythagoras' theorem. This states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the other two squares on the triangle.

It was developed by ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras, who was born in 570 B.C. However, the Stonehenge was assembled 2,000 years before his birth, around 2500 B.C. This theory suggests that these ancient humans were smarter than what people gave them credit for. In order to use Pythagoras' theorem, they had to be really skilled at geometry.
