Original Note:
The claim that the theorem was unknown in ancient Egypt is not confirmed and debatable. There is much uncertainty on mathematical knowledge in ancient world, but the Babylonians knew the ‘Pythagorean’ theorem and the ancient Egyptian knew the Pythagorean triads. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem
