Mathematical secrets of ancient tablet unlocked after nearly a century of study

Dating from 1,000 years before Pythagoras’s theorem, the Babylonian clay tablet is a trigonometric table more accurate than any today, say researchers At least 1,000 years before the Greek mathematician Pythagoras looked at a right angled triangle and worked out that the square of the longest side is always equal to the sum of the squares of the other two, an unknown Babylonian genius took a clay tablet and a reed pen and marked out not just the same theorem, but a series of trigonometry tables which scientists claim are more accurate than any available today. The 3,700-year-old broken clay tablet survives in the collections of Columbia University, and scientists now believe they have cracked its secrets. Continue reading...

Announcement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding a defamatory article in today's Financial Times

An unsubstantiated article in today's Financial Times by the journalist Mrs Kerin Hope, propagates unprecedented lies aimed at discrediting the Greek government. Among the other lies stated in the article: A. While failing to provide any corroboration of the claims it makes, the article presents a false story aimed at defaming the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Kotzias. B. The newspaper lies in saying that it received no comment on the article that was to be published. The truth is that on 30 July, following pertinent correspondence, Mrs. Hope received a relevant letter from Mr. Kotzias' attorney, Ioannis Mantzouranis. The false statement that Mr Kotzias 'declined to comment' breaks every rule of journalistic ethics. C. Reference is made to the independence of the judiciary and the alleged risk posed by the government to that independence, while the author of the article – obviously serving other expediencies and selfish interests – adopts all of the 'arguments' of the government's opponents as self-evident, despite their having been struck down by courts of all levels.  She flouts the rulings of the Greek judiciary because they are not to her liking, and she directs political labels and falsehoods at Nikos Kotzias, adopting extreme-right phraseology. To set the record straight, the letter Mr. Mantzouranis sent to Mrs Kerin Hope is hereto attached. Mr. Kotzias' Office has Ms. Hope's written confirmation of her receipt of the aforementioned letter.
