This channel has all the best content . . . I try to tune in daily
What an amazingly made pure educational content, thank you all who created this, and also shared.
Well, if you take into account he went to egypt and looked upon the Pyramids with wonder, and noticed they were nearly perfect, he probably wondered how they did it, or asked someone. You can get an idea of why he started thinking beyond a ruler and a straight line lol
Pythagoras was an amazing human.
As someone who never even managed long division, I have zero clue as to why I am watching this!
Fascinating person. Loved this documentary
Highly educational and enlightening video, thank you very much, that's what is needed today
1:35 - You can see he's British by the way how smoothly he switches from describing exercises , to getting wasted with drugs. This guy was precisely selected for this part. He mindfagged me and I almost didn't notice

The "actor" who plays Pythagoras during the reenactment scenes was given no script and every scene was done after one take.
The video seems to indicate that there were specific "writings" of Pythagoras and that Plato and Aristotle had access to these writings, but I can't find any source to support that claim. Wiki is quite exhaustive on Pythagoras and it says some scholars attribute the mathmatical achievements to others, possibly his followers, and that the real Pythagoras himself was more like the social reformer and mystic. Not to detract from his massive influence over the centuries.
Thanks for all the great content on this channel. Yelling into the wind, though, I urge all documentarians of history to forego the use of reenactments. They are deceptive, never accurate and very expensive. In their place please show the art and artifacts that are more relevant and more interesting. Thank you.
Thank you 👍
I was lucky to travel last summer to from Turkey to Samos, birthplace of Pythagoras, and noticed as our boat approached the island, an outcrop of rock which was an almost perfect right angled triangle, made all the more striking by the shadow cast across it as the sun passed over. I wondered, however implausible it might have been, if a young Pythagoras might have seen this, maybe while out fishing (assuming he did this sort of thing). Wish I could post a photo, it was uncanny and fun to conjecture.
I love Latin language. I love logic. I love mathematics. They are beautiful. They make my life beautiful. "Life is Beautiful" because of Ancient Rome.
Jason is a master of cipher text = 313 = 7, English, In Chaldean = 98 = 8. This is a true statement, I checked = 314 = 8, English, In Chaldean = 98 = 8. Mathematical words calculations = 315 = 9, English, In Chaldean = 98 = 8.
Very good episode
I find it intriguing that you’re sharing a perspective I hadn’t heard before. Generally, I think of Pythagoras as a kook, an overbearing cult leader.
Pretty sure the Babylonians and Egyptians were aware of the properties of right triangles before Pythagoras' name was attached to this, and the presentation of it as his creation kind of puts a pall on anything else said in this documentary.
