We had ol’ chief SOH CAH TOA in along with our slide rule!

“Apparently there is evidence of high civilization in Turkey “
NO
Armenia
which Turkey took over much of in 1915 [Armenian genocide]
Don’t give Turkey credit for what is not theirs.
Yes, very cool!
This was before Armenia or Turkey. The land is not defined by any group occupying it at particular time.
It was Armenians. They have a long history.
Thank you, twenty five posts to get here, people be slackin.
Not that long.
Not if you are clueless on the subject.
No one with any credibility claims there were Armenians at the time of Gobekli Tepe which is in SE Anatolia and estimated to be 12,000 yrs old. The site is hundreds of miles from Armenia. Perhaps you should learn something.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.
You may find this interesting as well.

You are selling the Turkish talking points.
Those sites are on land taken from Armenia by Turkey during the Armenian Genocide, 1915.
That is simply false. Armenia was hundreds of miles away on the OTHER side of the site which predates either by thousands of years.
There are no “Turkish talking points” that have any effect on me. I can read a history book.
You are reading lefty “history” books.
It is clear you have no idea. Maps don’t lie. Western Turkey included Armenia for three hundred years, unfortunately. Prior to that it did not. After that it did not. So it was Armenia for 300 out of many thousands of years. This makes your statement a wild exaggeration.
Apparently you are an Armenian.
Obviously you are a Turk.
You don’t have a clue.
“The huge mystery, until now, was its purpose - why the ancient scribes carried out the complex task of generating and sorting the numbers on the tablet.”
Because it would have been much more painful to all if it was in suppository form. And a tablet would be much easier to read.
Strictly WASP on both sides. I don’t have to be a Turk to read a map. Since you did not answer I am assuming you are Armenian.
“When your life depends on getting the math right.................you get the math right...............”
Yep.

Don’t Fall for Babylonian Trigonometry Hype

The Babylonians discovered a strange form of trigonometry
The Middle Eastern civilization created a trig table 1,000 years before the Greeks.
