The paper claimed that whatever we know today as geometry, trigonometry and so on, actually originated in ancient India. Whether it is the so-called Pythagoras theorem, or the precise value of mathematical constants such as Pi or even methods to approximate the square root of 2, were all known to ancient Vedic Indians! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The paper even claimed that the ancient Babylonians borrowed these ideas from Vedic Indians. And the Greeks like Pythagoras could have taken cues from them. </div></div></div></div><a href="https://doctor-king-online.blogspot.com/2021/09/veda18-were-vedic-indians-mathematical_0865508108.html#more"></a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LetusThink?a=16NZoU-kRkY:2bB9yOq9w9s:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.fe
