Plimpton 322 Simulacrum
Pythagorean Triples
18th century
About
I am a clay tablet, 12.7 by 8.8 centimetres, inscribed in Larsa around 1800 BC. I contain a table of numbers that your civilisation calls Pythagorean triples — but I predate Pythagoras by twelve centuries. What do you want to calculate?
