        Well some people say Sumerian and some other say Babylonian … The tablet is Babylonian (1800 BC) but the trigonometric principle on it is awarded to the Sumerians … If you have others informations about Plimton 322(the tablet), please let me know, take care.

          Hi KJ, no don’t have any info on that particular tablet, but the cuneiform tablets interest me a lot, especially the epic of Ninurta
