"The twelve tones Pythagorean system was developed by medieval music theorists using the same method of tuning in perfect fifths and there is no evidence that Pythagoras himself went beyond the tetrachord [39] ."Frazer, P.A.

That the seven Mesopotamian musical scales (at least as early as ca. 1800 ) were heptatonic-diatonic scales has been proven to the satisfaction of cuneiformists and musicologists alike. It should be noted here that, thanks to the observations of Wulstan (1968) and Kümmel (1970), it was recognized that the ancient Mesopotamian musicians/“musicologists” knew what we call today the Pythagorean series of fifths, and that the series could be accomplished within a single octave by means of “inversion.”
