“…MMP 10 establishes that the ancient Egyptians knew that the circumference of a semicircle was Pi x d, and therefore knew that the circumference of a circle was C = Pi x d. This would represent a considerable mathematical sophistication for these times and, if true, would antedate the Greek Dinostratus by more than 1,400 years.” Gillings, p197-8

“This is indeed the modern formula for the curved surface of a hemisphere. If this interpretation of MMP 10 is the correct one, then the scribe who derived the formula anticipated Archimedes by 1,500 years!" Gillings, p199-200
