A Night Of Numbers - Go Forth And Multiply

[moonstar7]

The Ethiopians and the Kamites aka ancient Egyptians were one and the same so they shared the same knowledge of math.

[BlazingDynamo23]

Incredible!

[cmrigaud1]

Ethiopian traders cracked the code? WOW!

[PieEater8899]

Base two calculation, this isn't something specifically Ethiopian and has been utilized in almost every culture on the globe at some point in time. It was used extensively by the Egyptians to do their mathematics.

P.S. The easiest way to do multiplication by 11 in your head is to add the multiplicand together and sandwich the result in between. 15 x 11 would be 1+5 = 6 therefore take your answer and fill the imaginary gap between the fifteen; and you get 165. It's like magic! ;-)

The Church of Ethiopia is the Coptic Christian church. This video shows people have always been clever. We "moderns" tend to think we are always smarter than our ancestors.

[PAKposse]

typical pompous pretentious bbc shit, and we have no one to blame for ourselves for letting heathen others make docs about us. There are enough ethios, erits, etc living nice bougie lives who can invest in documenting our history ourselves but no, let the pompous brits tell we story. just like TT, they invent ONLY instrument of the 20th Century and still can be bothered to document it, sheeeeeet can't even be bothered to patent it! FELA KUTI said it with his chune 'Colonial Mentality'

[artifactingreality]

@PAKposse so why did this video offfend you exactly?

[bryansteeksma]

Egyptians had a similar system

[BBMix]

I am so bad at math that I haven't got a clue what they are talking about, even though its fascinating to look at.

[Gutsyndicate]

Ethiopians have their own calendar and system of writing different from the rest of the world, they should be proud of that. I'm somali.

[ImalHasan]

Ethiopian math techniques which is IN FACT WEST ASIAN TECHIQUES WHICH IS IN FACT BLACK MEN OF ASIA PROVE THAT THE HIGHER KNOWLEGE OF THIS WORLD WAS GIVEN FROM WEST ASIATICS / HAMITES / EYGPTIANS/ BABYLONIENS / BLACK MEN.

TODAYS COMPUTERS ARE USING THE SYST

[Etlipoh]

i cannot multiply with 28 e.g 28x37

[AethiopidKING]

@TheAksum

the abysinnians took it from there??? what on earth are you talking about?? Rawlinson said the sumerians were Kusites and they came from ETHIOPIA! Rawlinson was the first researcher to detect the Sumerian language... and to decipher the cuneiform writing Rawlinson used Oromo & Amharic and South Semitic language.

A-SUMERIANS and A- BABYLONIAS are related to modern-day ETHIOPIANS / ABYSSINIANS.

go get some knowledge about ETHIOPIA dumb Eritrean faggot!

[28381252]

ethiopian want be, wher do you get your wishful fictional crap from.besides you didnt show as any evedence except you try to confuse& distort.the facts & the evidence shows it is ancint ethiopian invention,and we the real Ethiopians (not the fakeonce)proud of it.

[tilahungirma]

If you are an Ethiopian, where does this self hate come from?From what I read you seem to hate your nationality.

[mc2000ch]

This is how I learn to multiply

[TheAksum]

this seems so amazing to us all todays,but it was the most simple mathematics to the ancients.the abysinnians preserved it until today,thanks to their geographical situation,but this is simple pre-dynastic maths created in sumeria and egypt first.the egyptians,on their own,but at the same time as sumeria,knew about this maths and the abysinnians took it from there.the same with the calender,it was not calculated by an abysinnian,its purely egyptian and came to ethiopia thru the orthodoxchurch.

[tilahungirma]

Do you have evidence or just inventing nonesense.

[TheAksum]

know your history my brother, its written everywhere, thousands of years ago. this is western nonsense.bbc, indee?!

[tilahungirma]

You are simply jealous Eritrean.

[TheAksum]

abesha nägn yene geta ishi, but i know the ignorrance and false arrogance of my countrys people, you have just confirmed it with your post now. just stick to the truth, dont steal the glory from others. you are jelous to the truth and history of other countries, but you dont know even your own countrys history. first of all you have to be human, then you also can accept traditions and histories from others, but with your posts you show that you cant..

[yonatanjerene]

yigermenalo and tbirat, you are funy guys. Is that your issue which makes you to worry. Let's think about how that mind can be in a right postion today.

[Yigermenalo]

Yonatan: all I said was, Let's claim the power that we had. I do not think i imply any thing wrong.

[lijabere]

simply emmmmmmmmm

[mimitaye]

Things that make you go Hmmmm......

[bahunegn]

I wonder why we are not using "ZERO" in our numberic system. May be zero doesn't exist.

[Yigermenalo]

this must be during the eritro-ethiopian period (aksumite) civilization. Nothing was impossible during that time it seems. It is time to ask Why we are where we are and how to fix our problems. Let's work for the rebirth of our civilization in Eritrea and Ethiopia.

[tikurgisila]

I accept working together and that Eritrea is now separate from Ethiopia. But I doubt many agree with you there was a "eritro-ethiopian" period. But so be it.

[tbisrat]

Actually, this system is related to the Ethiopian calander system of the Ethopian Orthodox Church - Bahire Hasab. Fractions are left aside in most of the calculation in a complex way, yet they produce accurate results.

Future research will reveal even more marulous systems in Ethiopia, upon which we, shamefully, turned blind eyes.

[JofeAmoraw]

Diros...yerasin atatilo yewsewn makber. Motenal

[unoriginallusername]

you know how we do out in africa mang....dunnoe

[SuperHareg]

coollllll

[henishlove]

Amazing! what happen to this generation??????

They cracked the code before the invention of computer.

[Enu0707]

wow that is amazing. i don't need a calculator anymore! thnx to my Ethiopian ppl

[ethiofekade]

amazing

[jadapoo1]

Math is the universal language, people. It transcends race, culture,time and space. A mathematical method used thousands of years ago still rings true today.

[agamino0]

amazing!!

"abet enda shabia enta kon kitiblu  tikonu" when u saw this! lol

[Bersabedaa]

Another thing to be proud of our ancestors. They were so brilliant!

But....... what happend to this generation?

Berasie aferku.

[aberramolla]

ቀለንጦሱ (Ethiopic Calendar) ወደዚህ ስሌት ዘዴ ቀረብ ያለ ኣገዳደፍ ነው የሚጠቀመው?

[getteshome]

I never gave attention for this. Shame on me for my negligence.

[DaveEthio]

Praise to our Ancestors !!! Shame on us, we let them down !!! :(

[EritreaEthiopia]

Interesting,

[thitna]

ya i knew it!!!

[utoob1k]

Wow, I never knew that.

[mullened]

I am ethiopian but i really do no this mathematics.

so wonderful!

[zerihoun]

brillant!
