Ishango bone: a 20,000-year-old artifact and first mathematical device.
The Ishango bone was discovered in the 1950s in the Lake Edward, DR Congo, by Belgian anthropologist Jean de Heinzelin de Braucourt. The bone, which might be a fibula of a baboon or other large mammal, is about 10 cm long and features a series of notches.
Professor Turok highlighted the profound connection between ancient African mathematical artifacts, such as the Ishango bone, and modern cosmology, which are foundational to understanding the universe.
“The mathematical principles demonstrated by early African civilizations provide a key to unraveling the universe’s most profound mysteries, linking humanity’s earliest mathematical discoveries to the cutting-edge advancements in cosmological theories today,” Turok said.
Other speculations include the engravings on the bone serving as a lunar calendar. Dating to 20,000 years before present, it has been described as “the oldest mathematical tool of humankind.
