Experts, who are studying the formation of Britain's Stonehenge, claimed that those who built it had knowledge of Pythagoras' theorem even 2,000 years before he was born.
The newly published Megalith book reinvestigated the geometry of ancient Neolithic structures in England. One of its contributors, Robin Heath, an astrology researcher and expert, said that the rectangle of four Sarsen stones would form a perfect Pythagorean right triangle when split in half.
"People often think of our ancestors as rough cavemen but they were also sophisticated astronomers. They were applying Pythagorean geometry over 2000 years before Pythagoras was born," said contributor and book editor John Martineau, who also authored a number of astrology and history books.
