yes, another human taught us it. surely you are not suggesting aliens or god taught us math lol ?
You never know, how were the pyramids built if at the time, not many people had an education? That question was never answered.

how can you compare the pyramids to math ? its a complete different ball game.

All construction has to do with math, its needed or it would be almost impossible to build the large buildings of today's society.

Not really, seems as if you haven't had geometry yet.

im 18, your 14. do not lecture me on a subject that you still perhaps do not know the simple times tables of.
just because that person is 14 doesn't mean they don't already know it.

Wow you wanna call me out for being 14? You have no argument in this subject because most of architecture is math. You probably already knew that though.

wrong. math is not needed to contruct a house. it is used in todays society yes. but was not many years ago.

Either way, if we discovered math, if it was taught to us it was at one point invented. It is a way to solve problems! For example: if you need to solve the problem of communicating long distances, you invent the telephone. It is still a discovery though because all inventions in a way are discoverys, it's just a solution to a problem or a way to make something easier!

I want to hear other people's opinions...
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's one of the main ideas behind a forum site.

Maybe for a house, but if you knew anying the pyramids were impossible to make without math. The way they were created balance, angles and other mathmatical equations were used.

A discovery is when something is found out that had already existed, math didn't exist until humans invented it.
