Because they GOT THIER ENLIGHTMENT from those OTHER NORTH AFRICANS you fukking c00n/cac ...the EGYPTIANS...
Pythagorous like many greek philosphers studied for over 22 years in egypt where he entered temples with the phrase "KNOW THYSELF" written on it's temples where he learned mathamtical principles such as the EGYPTIAN STRING TRICK known as the PYTHAGOREN THEOREM...
Prior to the Egyptian influence...greek society was instinct animal like driven with strong HOMOSEXUAL OVERTONES....i.e (toga parties, island of lesbos, patmos)
The Pythagorean Theorem or 47th Problem of Euclid
The ancient Egyptians used the string trick to create right angles when re-measuring their fields after the annual Nile floods washed out boundary markers. Their skill with this and other surveying methods (cf. Barrance C. Lespine's posts on the checkerboard surveying system which they may have learned from the Sumerians) led to the widely held (but false) belief that the Egyptians invented geometry (geo=earth, metry=measuring).
Thales the Greek supposedly picked the string trick up while travelling in Egypt and took it back to Greece. Some say that the Greek mathematician and geometer Pythagoras, described in Masonic lectures as "our worthy brother," also went to Egypt and learned it there on his own. In any case, it was he who supplied the PROOF that the angle formed by the 3 : 4 : 5 triangle is invariably square and perfect. As to whether he actually sacrificed a hecatomb upon completing the proof, i leave to historians to determine. Once the proof was found, it could be applied to other right angles and was found to satisfy the conditions of their construction as well.
