Pythagoras and Stonehenge

The builders of Stonehenge were a couple millennia ahead of Pythagoras.


"Pythagoras? discovery that the sum of the areas of two squares on the sides of a triangle will add up to the area of a square on hypotenuse has been used for millennia to help builders attain perfect right-angles."

Pythagorean Theorem according to Sarah Knapton...

Which is correct, it's how it's proved.

And then the other week another Stonehenge expert claimed that most of the stuff showed up there naturally. Go figure.

of course you are, but thank you for admitting it
