Abstract
It is known from ancient Egyptian mathematical papyri that the Egyptians were able to calculate the area of a circle with great accuracy. How they found the formula for this calculation was still unknown. Here it is shown how the unknown ancient Egyptian mathematician found a method for calculating the area of a circle and the ratio of a circle’s circumference to diameter.
