3,700 year old Babylonian tablet shows that Mathematics is older than we thought

And that trigonometry was very, very old when the Greeks "invented" it.  And that Base 60 is good for something other than telling time.

Cool.

And since we're talking Babylonia, it demands the song with the most famous reference to Babylonia ...

Skip, I've used it several times in the past. I haven't looked at it lately but it had a good reputation a few years ago.
