Did India discover Pythagoras theorem? A top mathematician answersSo is Pythagoras, he didn't come up with it. It predates him by at last a millennial.
Another standard would involve," he adds, "the requirement of a document that explicitly states the Pythagorean theorem -- the geometric theorem. That first occurs about 800 BC in India in the Shuba Sutra of Baudhayan."
"There's the first explicitly written theorem that ways that if you have a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is the sum of the square of the length of the two legs. That is written for the first time as a theorem for a general triangle in the Shuba Sutra of Baudhayan... At least, that's the first recorded instance."
"In that sense, if you want hard scientific evidence, it's accurate to say that the Pythagorean theorem was first (recorded) in India in about 800 BC. Another standard could go beyond a mere statement," says Dr Bhargava.
Well actual twisting of the facts are when mythology is construed as facts when discussing factual history.. It’s quite ironic that you post myths in a thread about historical discovery of probably a modern mathematical notion

They had hydrogen bombs tooIndians had warp engine for interplanetary travel in ancient times. That is even more impressive.
