  Ever since it was published by Neugebauer and Sachs in 1945, the Old
Babylonian tablet known as Plimpton 322 has been the subject of numerous
studies leading to different and often conflicting interpretations of it.
Overall, the tablet is more or less viewed as a list of fifteen Pythagorean
triplets, but scholars are divided on how and why the list was devised. In this
paper, we present a survey of previous attempts to interpret Plimpton 322, and
then offer some new insights that could help in sharpening the endless debate
about this ancient tablet.
