But ancient niggers definitely understand straight. They understood plumb. And they understood right. Clearly. So chopping up and reconstructing the leaf is pleb shit. How do they go from a flat diagram into a pretty fucking accurate calculation using basically bricks and sand and maybe a string because that's what they fucking have.
I believe the obvious solution is to actually make the calculation 3 dimensional. So take all the shit bricks. Have the master shit brick maker maximize uniformity and right angles on the shit bricks.
Line up these bricks on the flattest ground. Xs are bricks.

The empty space is a volume measurement for sand. this is the (2x)^2 volume calculation.

Do this for rise. Do this for run. Have pile of combined sand. Set up bricks to fit all the sand to find C^2.
With any kind of acceptance of a uniform thickness, the volume calculation becomes feasible and then the squaring becomes a physical volume calculation rather than some fancy paper geometryfagging.
This would be accurate as fuck compared to chopping up the paper and putting it back together.
Moral of the story:
Niggers might do exactly this for literally thousands of years before some faggot thought to conceptualize it fully much less to carve the geometric diagram into a stone. And until then there's literally 0 chance we'd ever find a record of it today.
I guess I'm saying of course lots of niggers knew it before Pythagoras.
