What did ancient mathematics look like? If we go back before the Sumerians, Egyptians, Chinese and Indian ancient cultures, can we say anything new about how Neolithic peoples thought about mathematics? I think we can, and we should look again at the ancient world, incorporating some of the remarkable discoveries that have been made in recent decades and that shed new light on the ancient world.
In this introductory video we frame a new kind of investigation that we believe holds now lots of exciting problems and challenges. We'll be looking at remarkable sites, pyramids, megaliths, calendars, records, and other antique objects from all around the ancient world, from Ireland to Portugal to Africa to Asia. This discussion needs to connect also with ancient astronomy, which would have been a central concern of humankind over the millenia.
