It's interesting that Pythagoras gets credit for a theorem he may not have discovered, especially when there's proof that Babylonians knew it 1000 years earlier.
This challenges the idea that ancient Greek mathematicians were always ahead of others.

It's probably just as well because otherwise just about everything would be named after Gauss which would make learning maths even more difficult than it already is.
The Pythagoreans did make a number of important discoveries to do with number theory, the ratios between string lengths for various musical notes (eg twice as long is an octave lower etc), cosmology and some other results in geometry to do with the properties of various 3-d shapes and stuff.
