$We found a lost temple using maths sent by an ancient Sumerian god | Curators Corner w. Matt Parker Its not every day you get to say I found a lost, presumed to be mythical, ancient Sumerian temple. Unless youre curator of ancient Mesopotamia Sébastien Rey. Because he did exactly that - rediscovering the Temple of Ningirsu in Girsu, in Southern Iraq. And he did it by cracking an ancient Sumerian maths puzzle that had stumped archaeologists for over 140-years. Join Matt Parker and find out how unit fractions and predictive archaeology are way better than the golden ratio. Hugh thanks to Matt Parker for coming along for the ride. You can check out his video with curator Ilona Regulski on the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_qbIsltNmQ If youve been inspired by Ilona and Matt, and want to learn to read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs you can do so with this video: https://youtu.be/LwZB0MsXCjQ If youd like to find out more about how we excavate at Tello, ancient Girsu, you can watch us excavate a cuneiform tablet from the ground, watch it being conserved, translated and delivered to its final home in the Iraq Museum in Baghdad: https://youtu.be/dwGmyy2Aabg Find out more about the work of the Girsu Project here: https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/projects/girsu-project 00:20 Setting Matt Parker an ancient Sumerian Maths problem 01:15 Matts first attempt at deciphering the tablet of Gudea 02:14 Is it a ruler? 02:16 It IS a ruler! 02:48 The most iconic statue of ancient Mesopotamia: the statue of king Gudea 03:56 The dream that built the temple of Ningirsu in Girsu Tello 04:33 The archaeological search for the lost temple of Ningirsu 05:12 How the British Museum excavated the lost temple of Ningirsu 05:19 Discovering the first temple gate 05:48 The clue that helped crack the temple of Ningirsu metrology 06:28 Matts second attempt at deciphering the tablet of Gudea 07:48 Measuring out the temple of Ningirsu 09:08 Using predictive archaeology 09:17 Matt Parker: archaeologist 10:15 Proving the sceptics wrong... by digging more holes 10:43 The oldest architectural plan known in history 11:25 The beginning of abstract numeration in ancient Mesopotamia 12:37 Building with maths because its nice 13:35 What came first, the statue of Gudea or the temple of Ningirsu? 14:45 Mathematics; the divine language of the Sumerians 15:36 Sumerian fractions are officially better than the golden ratio 15:41 Who is Ningirsu? #curatorscorner #mesopotamia #maths$
