Egyptian Multiplication?

This article claims that the bone is an example of Egyptian multiplication. Could someone please point it out more explicitly to me? I don't see what's being multiplied, or what the result is. And yes, I understand the concept of Egyptian multiplication. -Rwv37 18:10, 13 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

I believe the modern scholarly concensus dates this bone to approximately 6,500 BC. I've changed the date.

The reference used for this article states that it's 20,000 years old. --Sean Brunnock 12:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

See the following paper for the age. The "consensus" is false. Brooks A.S. and Smith C.C., 1987 "Ishango revisited: new age determinations and cultural interpretations" The African Archaeological Review, 5 : 65-78.
