“Too Mathy for Assyrians” Is Just Modern Amnesia

People forget what these cultures actually did.

We’re talking about people who predicted eclipses from long-period cycles, tracked lunar anomaly and nodal motion, recorded shadow direction and timing, solved quadratic problems on clay, worked comfortably with reciprocals and approximations

And someone says “but maybe they didn’t think in harmonic ratios?”

Come on.

If you can do eclipse syzygy tables, you can do 2 × 3.

Music isn’t harder math it’s friendlier math.
