Agriculture on its own doesn’t need much maths. Mediaeval Europeans were
able to manage their farms with just Roman numerals, after all.
What complicated things in Mesopotamia and Egypt was the periodic
flooding. There needed to be a way of keeping records of which farm lots
belonged to whom and where their boundaries were, even after all the
markers had been washed away. That took something called .. trigonometry.
Today's geographical spread of language comes to help a bit. Anything
non-Semitic that we speak today in, has come from India, from Sanskrit.
Semitic languages are part of the Indo-European family, too.
