Won't work: those Indian guys had counted it pretty precisely at about the 1st
century BC (at least). 3.14 they got;-) As for the biblical times (which weren't
that far anyway: that's AFAIK mainly the times between 10th and 6th centuries
BC), seems that the ancient jews just didn't know how to count it;-)
