The History of the Rhombus
Note that above examples are likely just the first uses of the rhombus in different parts of the world, regardless of whether they had developed mathematical logic behind the patterns yet. Explanations are yet to come, but note that all real-world applications further referenced by this site have their own underlying historical context and culture that will be be briefed.
