AFRICA
In 1950, the scientific community was shaken after a discovery made by a Belgian archaeologist in Africa. Jean de Heinzelin found in DRC Congo, very close to Uganda, a 25,000-year-old bone according to the latest dates.
But what was surprising about this petrified bone was the arithmetic game written all over it. The problem is that this kind of mathematical inscription was not supposed to exist back then, because during that time, the era of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt didn’t exist yet.
This bone is known as “ishango bone” Their existence is proof that Africa is the cradle of mathematics. This object existed 15,000 years before the first calculations of Pharaohs and 18,000 years before the emergence of mathematics in Greece.
There is no doubt that, for most, everything that the ancient mathematicians of Ancient Egypt did was only things their ancestors, the first Africans, already did.
