Not surprising ancient civilizations could recognize scientific principles as good, but it is interesting how probability deals explicitly with phenomenon with the least certainty, despite its root.
Almost as if the methods of testing, examining, and proving have no limit where proof of its subject cannot reside (of course the objects constructing Probability are proven).
