He made many theories and many conclusion that destroyed mythical beliefs of greeks and egyptians. He measured the pyramids and made mathematical equations to measure things by their base and height. Reason why he was a very good mathematician was he measured mount olympus and made a hypothesis that it was over nine thousand feet and in fact its nine thousand five-hundred and seventy three feet in elevation. He also measure the pyramids with his math equations that helped future pharaohs build more efficient pyramids for their honored dead. Thales of Miletus Also used his theories in business, politics, and basic logical conclusions for phenomenons.
