The reason for this is, because all records back then were kept on cuneiform tablets.

Fractals (to make a long story short) arise from unbounded convoluted lower-dimensional curves filling a higher-dimensional space. The fractals we are familiar with are formed using lines (sometimes these are contour lines defining the properties of certain regions when a function is applied to them), which are 1 D objects, but partially fill a sheet of paper, which is a 2 D space. The 3 D volumes of the Ma...
