Hi Lee,

L cooper wrote:The paucity of surviving written documentation puts huge constraints on what can be "proved" regarding AE mathematical knowledge. I have found, however, that the deeper I study the few documents we do have, the greater an appreciation I develop of the intelligence, cleverness, and doggedness that underlies the techniques and applications used by the scribes. I think that one does a tremendous disservice to the culture by too hastily downplaying their capabilities.

I believe what you stated to be an understatement of the capabilities of the Ancient Egyptians. I have not seen the documents you are referring to, but just from reading your papers it is evident you have a grasp of mathematics and geometry employed by the Ancient Egyptians, in your opinion could this non-Euclidean approach you have observed be an alternate interpretation of hyperbolic geometry?

The reason I asked this question is I am currently studying the geometric and mathematical concepts employed by the AE in their structures and receive a very strong hint of hyperbolic capabilities.
