Is this a joke? What kind of source is http://descmath.com/diag/ancients.html ? Andy, please read what the author writes about himself ( http://descmath.com/aboutme.html ), and then come up with a better source! --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] 13:28, 29 May 2015 (EDT) | Is this a joke?

Infinity
Nahum 2:9 is quite enlightening: here, "infinity" is used to describe the great, but certainly limited treasures of Nineveh, while Nahum 3:9 talks about the boundless assistance given by Egypt.... "Infinity" in the Bible could be more of a literary than mathematical concept.
BTW: a superficial search in the Iliad came up with six occurrences of "infinite/infinity"... --AugustO 04:50, 29 May 2015 (EDT)
