Baking 4000 year old math

This video gives you a taste of ancient Babylonian mathematics, exploring their sexagesimal (base 60) number system through the recreation of an original clay tablet using gingerbread.

Information about the tablet I recreated (tablet VAT7858): http://www.ams.org/publicoutreach/feature-column/fc-2012-05

Here is a blog post from Tavola Mediterranea which details the recipe and baking instructions: http://tavolamediterranea.com/2017/12/09/edible-archaeology-gingerbread-cuneiform-tablets/
