Since the ancient Egyptian or Babylonian approximations are much older than the time of Solomon it might be interesting find out what the usually used approximation of PI was at that time (Solomon was King around 1000 B.C.) in this or other parts of the world.
The hunt for pi began in Egypt and in Babylon about two thousand years before Christ.......Currently the value of pi is known to 6.4 billion places.
