This document discusses the history and origins of geometry. It explains that geometry was developed by ancient peoples to measure objects on Earth and that Euclid is considered the "father of geometry." The earliest recorded use of geometry can be traced back to ancient civilizations like the Indus Valley and Babylonia around 3000 BC, and it was the ancient Greeks who developed the principles of modern geometry, with Thales of Miletus credited as bringing geometry from Egypt to Greece. Several massive ancient structures are provided as examples of how geometry was used in architectural designs in the past.
