@Bebo There's been evidence for a long time that pythagoras was more cult-leader than mathematician, and his cult falsely attributed lots of things to him.
I actually remember watching a video about this on youtube, that Pythagoras was a sort of cult leader more than anything. So I found it quite interesting when I came across this article about the Babylonian tablet.
